live plants for enclosures

[nickn]

As long as they have a place to get out of the light they are fine.

The G. rosea will sometimes bask in it, the H. sp.Vietnam never comes out except at night(so it's not a problem), our A. metallica didn't seem to mind at all and the P. cambridgei has lots of leaves to hide under and does.

Your P. Cambridgei looks amazing btw. I hope mine does fine and grows up. Im trying to keep it moist in there for him. Hes doing a good job making his dirt wall in between the plant and the wall.

hey man...try this website! www.blackjungle.com

they have tons of terrerium plants, and mosses, pretty much anything you need to make a naturlistic terrerium.

my suggestions are.

1. for arboreal - air plants...look great and can be hot glued to any surface. needs high humidity.

2. ferns...can also be grown on backdrops...or logs. or in dirt...not much care needed

3. bromilades- awsome looking flowerin g broad leaf plant that can be secured by wire, hot glue, or other means....also needs high humidity- and can provide a natural "water dish" too these are what dart frogs breed in, in the wild.

4. ivy...can take over.

5. miniature orchids- needs high humidity, kinda hard o grow, and only grows on logs or cork bark.

6. bonsia ficus trees- readly avalible at wal mart...almost impossible to kill and very easy to dwarf...just pruneoncea year.

those are just a few....go to that site for lots more.
