Such a thing as companion plants for domino roaches?

Anyone know something that grows fast enough to not be gnawed to the ground, looks roughly appropriate for a scrubland species, isn't toxic, and likes similar conditions to domino roaches? 

 
I don't have much experience using plants in roach enclosures, but something along the lines of Sansevieria (Dracaena), Tillandsia, or Aloe species might do well, depending on how much light they get. Pothos might work as well. These aren't necessarily native to the same areas as domino roaches though. You might have more options if you keep the plants in plastic pots in the substrate. I would definitely be curious to see how it turns out if you try it. 

 
The most important thing for preventing damage to plants in setups with roaches is to always maintain carrots and other fresh veggies as well as a water source in there for them.
