The colony seems similar to polyrachis so it would be beneficial to provide them real plats but not necessary is my guess, because polyrachis can be kept in test tubes (as seen in AntsCanada video's)

Does that mean any kind of live plant will be enough for them to nest on?
Re: Oecophylla smargdina plant preference?
I think that it would have to be large enough for the colony to nest in, and larger leaves seem to do better.
