    Default Do i mist a vivarium, even though i used fake plants?

    Hello everyone!

    I haven't got my frogs yet and im just wondering if i would need to mist my vivarium if it only has
    fake plants?

    The frogs im planning to get are Green tree frogs and i know that they don't need as high humidity as other frogs.

    Thanks everyone!

    Yes, would would still need to mist to maintain a humidity level. Live plants are used to help raise and keep a good humidity level. Using fakes plants usually means you need to mist more often than when using live plants.

    Agreed with Don. Even if you use fake or live plants you will have to mist regardless.

    if you use fake plants you could use a fogger for humidity

    They should be alright. The room humidity is around 50% and im pretty sure that GTF only need 60%.

    But i'll look into the fogger if its needed.

    Thanks
