    Default Orchid into the tank?

    Hello,I'd like to put an orchid into my ornata's enclosure instead of a fake plant.
    Would there be some problems?Is it toxic for the frog or safe?
    Thanks in advance !

    I don't have the link, but you can search for frog-safe plants online and make sure that whatever plant you decide on is safe for your frog. Though I believe orchids are safe.

    As a plant biologist, I think the orchid would be in more danger than your pacman Orchids are pretty fragile anyways, and with a burrowing frog like a pacman they might not last long.

    I know that bromeliads are but I'm pretty sure Orchids are toxic. Most plants are due to frogs being so sensitive. Pathos. are a good plant to use because they grow fast and are very hardy. These plants are toxic if eaten, but are used frequently in Vivariums so they are safe as long as they're not eaten and if you make sure that you remove dead leaves.
