    Default Good American Tree Frog Plants?

    I am soon to start a tank conversion/build in the next month (hopefully) for an american green tree frog. I've been told pothos, rubber plants, and snake plants are good, but are there any other plant species that are also good? What about bromeliads?

    Bromeliads are excellent for green tree frogs, many plants that would be used by dart frog enthusiasts would work as well, Palm ferns, prayer plants and if you really want, aquatic plants such as duckweed or parrot's feather work well.

    Pretty much any plant labeled "tropical" will work. A rubber plant though, will outgrow any size Viv extremely quickly though. I would avoid that species ficus and stick with the smaller ones like ficus pumilia (creeping fig)

    Would neoregelia carolinae be good, even though it has small spines along the edges of the leaf?

    Check out Pachiras too. In the wild they get huge but are pretty slow growing and you can prune the sap out of them too. I bought one for the Huge 48 cu. ft. Viv I am building. It is also known as the money tree and is supposed to bring good luck too if you are superstitious hahhaa. The second one is a Chocolate Orchid and smells like a box of Chocolates when flowering.Name:  Unknown.jpeg

    Orchids are awesome for vivs, if you are up for the challenge.

    I have had a lot of luck with African Violets too. I've never been successful at growing them outside of my viv, but they thrive in there.

    As long as they get proper drainage, they do well. I keep them in a few tanks
