    Default Fertiliser?

    Hi there, obviously chemical fertilisers are a big no-no but are there any frog-safe fertilisers at all? Do I even need any for one bromeliad and a parlour palm?

    Thanks

    I cannot say about the Parlour Palm but I have some Broms in my Dart Frog enclosure that have been growing and look great without the use of fertilizers at all.

    Chemical fertilisers are definitely big no-nos lol! Like will said, i second the fact that broms do not need anymore fertiliser than the pooping of the frogs them selves. I also am not sure about the Parlour Palm. In my opinion, if it needs fertiliser than it really should'nt be going in a vivarium. Just my 2 cents but if your set on getting some fertiliser i do believe there is some sort of natural dead fish fertiliser. I am not exactly sure about it and have not heard any reviews on it either. I have had my vivarium up for over a year and all of my plants are doing great without any fertiliser.

    Hope that helps!

    I agree, if you feel you need to fertilize then you probably don't want that plant in the viv. my plants have been going in my Viv without frogs in there for a few weeks now and seem to be doing ok with just being misted by my mistking, my brom is also mounted up high on driftwood anyway. My pothos is sprouting new leaves, and my crypt is starting to color up. We'll see what happens in teh next couple weeks once the darts are in there.

    Thanks guys, appreciate the response.

    Yeah I don't think the Parlour Palm needs much really, I dig a small hole by the plants and put one of his turds in it every week so that should get it done haha!

    The plants have been in there for three weeks now, the Brom still isn't taking root but the palm's going good...
