Here are some plants you will not want to use:

I guess there are many others that aren't listed. Just be cautious.

Live plants are usually not a good idea as it can make it difficult to clean the cage well, raise humidity and harbour bacteria. That is all before taking into account that some are toxic.

I have never tried to use live plants (so I am in no way an expert on the topic) but I wouldn't suggest it.
