    Question Plant advise for pacman enclosure

    Hello fellow pacman lovers!
    I am wondering if you have any good ideas for a hanging plant for my pacman enclosure.
    Post some pics if possible.

    Thanks in advance!

    Do you mean air plants?

    A good air plant is a Bromeliad which there are several types colors and sizes. Pathos also work well, but with all plants be sure not to allow your frog to accidentally eat any part of the plants while hunting food. Absolutely no fertilizers unless they are frog safe which you will have to buy specially through online ordering. JoshsFrogs.com has such fertilizers.

    Yes, air plants exactly, Thank you!
    Bromeliad seems perfect! It also adds a wonderful color difference..
    Do you know if Bromeliad has any special needs that differs from the general enclusure (Humidity, temp. etc.)?

    Light is the main thing bromeliads need more than your pacman. If your enclosure is high enough for the plant to grow above your pacman, you can easily put some more lights on top and the plant will give shade to the bottom of the enclosure. The best choise would be Neoregelia, wich come in different color forms and grow sideshoots very quickly when established. Just google this species. To fertilize the plants I use filtered aquarium water (without chemicals). this contains enough nutriants for the bromeliads (& orchids) and gives no ill effects on your frogs. I've been doing so for years now and never killed a frog by using it.
