It won't last very long. I'd use glass-covered electrodes (such as short
glass tubes with one closed end and foil or nickle-paint inside. If
possible, keep the plasma from touching the plastic. Perhaps you could
jam lots of short glass segments into some plastic hose. That way the
hose would still be flexible, but the plasma wouldn't destroy the plastic
surface.
It's cheaper to use EL "neon wire" such as G15574 from
