Finally after all those years I'm making use of one of those little greenhouse boxes I have.
My mother got this nice leafy plant called 'Kindje op moeders schoot' (Tolmiea menziesii), which in English has been nicknamed 'piggyback plant' because new leaves are growing on top of old leaves.
You can cut off the larger leaves and replant them. I'm going to try to make them root so I can put them in my garden and hope they can spread there. Should be great to cover the soil in the shadow-rich areas which are kinda bare right now.
At any rate, it's a very fun-looking plant.

@trinsec a) Very cool, I'm hoping you post update pictures if they take root!
b) Also, just because you need to know this, you could probably keep a tarantula in there if you wanted (which is true of literally any container...but still, technically a potentially useful fact 😂)
@johnabs
a) I hope they'll take root and then yeah, I'll try to take pics. :D
b) Igh!
Besides, they might be smart buggers and open the sliders wide enough to escape, no thanks! 😱
@trinsec Awesome, I'm looking forward to it!
And no, they are literally the dumbest creatures on earth, and they're blind: they just sit in their holes and wait for movement and often attack leaves or grass 😂.
They just get cranky when people open the box because imagine if you were blind and a giant ripped the roof of your house off and started chucking cheeseburgers at you. I'm sure you'd be angry too, even if you appreciated the food 😂😂😂
