ya but not those two, zz plant needs less water than rubber plants

Are there 2 you would recommend?

for the most part most carnivorous plants work well together because they like bog conditions

You should combine plants that have the same water, light and fertilizer requirements. Different philodendrons or pothos etc. I combined my monsteras Peru, Congo and Siltepecana

i would only recommend combining plants of the same species or very similar species, otherwise you risk one or the other suffering due to their varying water/lighting needs
