Wonderful photo tutorial! Soon after I finish moving I will come back to this thread for inspiration when I set up planted enclosures for all of my bigger tarantulas.

I wish you the best. Hopefully the laws get changed down there and you can once again keep a such beautiful collection.

Very nice tutorial!
What kind of substrate do you use ?
It looks like potting soil, but is it ?

Yes it is, I mixed 2 kinds of potting soil, here they are called "vegetal soil" and "regular soil" :?

thanks novak, I use good wood, here in Brazil theres one called "aroeira", its like stone. You may also makle the bark boil in salted water* for 15 minutes and the salt will help to avoid mold, fungus ecc

*2 table spoon of salt x 1 liter of water,
remember that the salt will be very harmful for your plants, so if you use this method withs plants in the same enclusure, dont spray on the bark, because the salty water that comes down will kill the plants.

Oh thanks alot, I use to use plants, but I dont anymore so that shouldnt be a problem. THe salt wont hurt the Ts right?

If I were to go back to plants, how do you clean those from all the nasties that are on them?

I always said that its very important to go out and watch the nature to learn how to make good natural enclosures, so Im posting some pics that show from where I took my inspiration... some examples....I hope them work as an inspiration for you as they did for me.

They are all good plants for terrariuns as they dont need much light
