But I'm thinking some strong magnets might make things even easier. Have you had particular trouble with the magnets?

P.S. I absolutely LOVE how you've set yours up with the rocks and pothos did you grow the pothos yourself or can you buy them that big?
Thanks Kristen,
Hope all is well!
Lots of times the magnets bug me. I have actually have to add magnets as the plants have grown over the past year or so. I do not plant directly in to the planter (the link to the planter place is in my enclosure album). I plant into 4" pots, then plop the pot into the planter. This way the plant can be maintained more easily, if needed. In my 2 viv I am building- I am actually going to silicone the planters onto the glass. I don't think it will difficult to clean around it. I would love to do the same in my existing red eye enclosure. BUT there are 6 frog in it !!! I may do a temp. frog transfer when I am done w/ #2 do do the silicone job in #1. It takes a long time for it to dry !

The pothos is about 2 years old. I think I started w/ a good size plant from Home Depot.
I pulled all the store dirt off and made more than one plant when I re -potted it into Eco-Earth .
I'm getting the plants ready for viv #2. When I get myself organized I will do a build thread.
The plants have been potted for a few weeks now.
