    I would say maybe a mixture of both. There are a lot of plants that are easy to take care of. If you have too much green in your tank and want some color then I guess thats when the silk plants/flowers would come in handy. I tried doing a live orchid in one of my tanks and my frog would sit on it until the leaves snapped. lesson learned I guess.
    If there is a certain look you want then try some houseplants, but make sure they are not toxic (I am sure you know this precaution already)

    I'm using fake at the moment, purely as my tank isn't the size that i want it to be however when i upgrade i will be going to live plants.

    I ended up going to the local plant nursery with a list of frog friendly items. Got a few and my tank looks great!! I uploaded an album so you can see. I also have fake plants on the sides. I ended up with Dumpys, and they seem to be more ground dwellers.

    very nice Dee. i see a pothos, a nice philodendron, some happy bamboo and a bromeliad. and i seeing that right? it looks great and the boys look like they are enjoying their froggy Jacuzzi one suggestion, when you can, dump those analog thermometer and hygrometer and get a nice digital combo. if you can swing it. they are more accurate. those analog ones are pretty much inaccurate ****, to put it mildly....LOL
