    Default what plants?

    all my plants died in my viv. Its very wet and dark alot of the time in their as my frogs hate the light turned on so i often just let the natural light in which is not the greatest for plants. Can anyone recommend what plants i can buy in Australia online that love dark damp places ? also i would move some moss but have no idea what type would like this environment also.

    What kind of frog do you have? What do you mean by hating the light? Most frogs shouldn't be affected by a natural photoperiod. Nocturnal ones will sleep but other than that they should be fine. There really isn't a plant that like dark places though....including moss

    They are salmon striped frogs. When i put the light on they go all weird i was worried it was burning them or something but its a Repti Glo 2.0 so i am not sure.. Where i had the tank for a long time it did get more natural light from the window but since moving it its much less light and only the light from the room which is not enough although no mold has grown and such all the plants died showily and its not as nice as it was. even though i have heaps of nice wood stuff and such it still needs that green, So today i bought a heap of new plants. I got some indoor ferns so hopefully they will survive. I am going to use the light again but maybe for only 6 hr in the day. And see how they go. I will also make much bigger hides so they can get down in them and be in complete dark as they enjoy, they are mostly only active at night anyhow. Can anyone recommend a online seller of moss? i would love some, ive seen that super green stuff that many have in rainforest tanks its lovely i would love it but I'm not even sure of the species. I did have some that grew on a rock outside but it was very slow growing and it did not look like the type many have in their rainforest vivs.

    The only plants i know that survive shaded, damp places are ferns. But even these places get their share of natural indirect bright light a few hours a day. If you still have problems keeping those alive then why not try using artificial/fake plants instead? They are much cheaper and look more colorful and will definitely be around for a long time in the dark
