Plants for Red Eyed Tree Frog??

[MrGEE]

Hey, well I'm going to make a vivarium for some RETF and I would like to know which plants can be housed with this kind of frog.
THANKS

I have just bought for my amazon milk frog vivarium
-photos
-bromelia
-ficus
-orchidae

I guess they are useful for your frog, because they re both tree frogs.

the list of plants suitable for red eyes is pretty long. the ones that G mentioned above will all work well, as will most species fern, dracaena, peperomias, pileas, fittonias, calatheas, and i could go on. a lot will depend on design, your experience with plants, and if you are like most folk, price. the advice i offer to beginners is, if it is listed as exotic at hom depot or lowes, it will work.

Okay so I think I´ll just do a brief investigation about it. With it I will choose the plants,
Thanks

They love those high broad leafed plants. A great beginner plant is a pothos (Epipremnum aureum).

Here is the link to the google images when searched.

I have one in each of my red eye tanks and they love them .

There are several other choices:

Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema)

Black Jungle categorizes their plants according to frog species which is quite helpful. http://blackjungleterrariumsupply.3d...omeSubCat_66_1

Joshsfrogs has great plants also. http://www.joshsfrogs.com/plants/liv...-plants-1.html

Ferns are nice so they can walk across the plants instead of the ground substrate when coming down to hunt.

Here is a post I started awhile back. Never for the chance to add more, but the pictures are helpful.

j agree with all the plants beatber listed except one. ficus elastica will out grow most vivs rather quickly. there's a reason they are called a rubber tree unless you want to do a LOT of trimming, I would stock with ficus pumila as the primary ficus used in five. it stays small and controllable, unlike most plants in the ficus family.

don't over look diffenbachia as a nice specimen. it does grow large, but slower than the ficus family.
