What would grow well in a little tabletop greenhouse? I know herbs will, but not sure I want to do those. Wondering about cactus? Maybe african violets? Just guessing at plants to put in there so would love some input.

More importantly, what sort of lighting conditions will it have? Some things need quite a lot of sunlight so if it is in a sunny room you could put something different than if the only light is artificial.

What do you mean by tabletop greenhouse? normally greenhouse's are used to start plants out in. Not keep inside all the time. Esp a tabletop one? or winter there maybe? What is the purpose? KWIM?

Nice, sunny room. By tabletop, I mean a cute little decorative greenhouse that you could fit a couple small pots in.

Well, then I don't see the purpose. Why can't the pots just sit out on the table? am I overthinking this??? ha

OP: I've had good success with succulents. Hard to kill.

Honestly, I probably would put together a pot of high end artificial plants to put in it so I don't have to worry with watering, light, and issues caused by plant growth and the plant getting too large for the space.
You might try researching what is popular in terrariums.

Ah, yea, I get the pretty/decorative part. They are usually not really successful though. I think I'm at the stage in my life too, where I have too much crap, and want to simplify. So having a plant inside of something just complicates the whole taking care of it part. And those things usually just end up in next years rummage sale.
