    Default Re: RETF vivarium needs plant ideas!

    pothos is a very common houseplant that you can get almost anywhere that has a garden dept. walmart, Home depot, lowes, ect. they all sell quite a few plants you can use, such as ficus pumila (creeping fig), hoya, diffenbachia, numerous ferns, dracenas and a few others. Ebay is also another good source, if you know what species you are looking for. also, garden centers or plant shops that have terrarium depts. are a gold mine for vivariums. terrarium depts specialize in miniature sized plants. as far as online goes, here are a few links for you, some places i have ordered from in the past, some i have not:
    Welcome to Black Jungle Terrarium Supply - The Natural Choice!
    Buy Rare and Exotic Tropical Plants Online|Begonias|Episcias|Peperomias|Gesneriads
    Tropicals – Jungle Box
    Plants for Terrariums and Wardian Cases
    Teresa's Plants & More Store
    last, but not least, my favorite orchid guy
    Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Orchid list of miniature orchid plants

    that should get you started on plants. as far as the actual build. i highly suggest reading over some of the build journals on here. get some ideas and then go from there. there are so many variables, that it is hard to make recommendations until you have a design and somewhat of a game plan. most important is research. read as much as you can about retf's and their natural habitat, look at pics, ect. first, it will give you much useful knowledge about the frogs and what kind of environment that will make them happy. second, you'll have something pop into your head as far as design goes. keep us posted
