Recommendation for an epiphytic vine for indoors

I have a nice coconut hanging pot I would like to use. I had an "ant plant" also known as Dischidia pectinoides but it died. I don't want to bother getting another one. Any vining or other epiphytic plant you could recommend in it's place would be appreciated. Thanks

how much light does it get? If you don't mind taking it down and watering once a day. Spanish moss will work. In fact mos of the tillandsias will work. They don't need soil and can be in partial shade but need good light. Did you mean air plant?

I already have a bunch of Tillandsia/air plants. The spot gets bright indirect light. I was hoping to find something more like the ant plant.

What about orchids or a hoya? I've got orchids doing very well in those coir lined baskets. Thinking about putting my hoya in one. They are supposed to have well drained soil. If I put some weed barrier in the bottom as a liner it would hold the soil better.
