Thread: the ultimate (?) plant thread

  1. #1

    Default the ultimate (?) plant thread

    well, i figured that since we don't have a subforum for plant stuff, i would start a thread for plants. this way, there's a centralized place (sort of) for plant questions, comments, suggestion, link to where to buy plants from, ect. even if you want to list your favorite species for certain types of vivariums, feel free to post in here.

    i may even start a thread about lighting, haven't decided if i want to sit still long enough to type out a "lighting primer".....lol

    Great idea! I bought plants for my retf build but that's as far as I got thanks to having to work the holidays away. I will post pics of them to get input later. But I will be returning a diffenbachia I bought. I had no idea how toxic they could be and with 2 crazy iggy pups running around getting into anything and everything, I just didn't want to take a chance.

    Why return it? Just put it somewhere the pups can't eat it. Problem solved

    That's why my plant trimmings go into my compost bin. I have a cat that loves to root through the trash for fun.....lol and going plant crazy isn't a bad thing. When you have too many plants, that just means you need to build another viv

    Bill, I'm not too sure, I will check the tag when I get home. Thought it would give some nice big leaves high up for my little guys. Also ordered a really cool manzanita branch from Josh s frogs eighth some oak leaf litter to top it all off.

    the big leaf on the top of the pic is an Alocasia watsoniana. If you are into naming your plants, such as myself, then I think Dr. Watson would be a proper name

    I PM'd John yesterday regarding this!
    We really could use it.
    He will get back to me. Hopefully we can make it official.
