I'm about to set up a arboreal vivarium in my 29 gallon aquarium. I initially planned to put a tall plant in it, such as a ficus or a hibiscus and fill the bottom 6 inches with soil. However, I'm a total n00b when it comes to plants and flowers and all that jazz. Will I need to drain the soil somehow? I'm worried that it will get filled with water too much when I water the plants. Will not having drainage for the plant water be a problem? I'm assuming the plant will soak up whatever water is in the soil, right? Oh, and I plan on having my humidity drip water go into the soil when it runs off of the plants.
Thanks so much!
