    Default Recommendations for center piece plants for dart frog Viv.

    I am looking for some more center piece style plants for the background of my Viv. By center piece plants I mean I want something that stands out from the rest of my plants. The only real restrictions I have on plant choice is they need to be able to do well in a dart frog Viv. I have two jungle dawn LEDs so lighting isn't an issue. I am open to any and all recommendations! I just want my Viv to look good! I have a stag horn fern already so that one is out. Thanks in advance!

    Check out tillandsia albertiana. It's a funky looking air plant, does great in Vivs and flowers bright red.

    Are you looking for just epiphytes? If so, Dischidia hirsuta 'Red Leaf', Dischidia ovata, some of the brighter mini Neoregelias
    If you include stuff that will vine up a background, Monstera krassiana, Philodendron 'Ecuador', Philodendron 'Burle Marx Fantasy' Rhaphidophora cryptantha, Monstera dubia, Macrgrevia rectifolia or 'Suriname'

    Ya I am open to anything I have four pots to fill on my background and I am just looking for something to fill them that looks nice. Maybe something with broad leaves or something. I saw in a video what looked like a big pale redish brown bromeliad with wide leaves and I really liked that a lot not sure what it was so I am on a search to find it. Like I said I am open to anything as long as it looks nice. I have a purple creeping Jew as a vine already but it wouldn't hurt to have more!

    If you're going to do broms, I would just mount them to the background as they can rot, use the embedded pots for trailing plants.

    Some good colored vivarium sized Neoregelias (I'm sure I'll think of more later, this is a partial list)

    Red- Fireball (of course), Red Bird, Red Wolf, Sara Head
    Orange/Peach- Tuti Fruiti, Devin's Delight, BAM
    Purple- Arenada, Purple Star x dungsiana, Grapevine, Caviar, Java Plum
    Yellow/Lime Green- punctatissima 'Yellow', Babe
    Green with additional color/banding- Flare Up, Midget, Tiger Cub, Babe, dungsiana, Pepper, Red Dot, ampullacea cultivars, Night Spot, Small Fry

    Awesome and thanks for those! I'll see what I can get! All the bromiliads will be mounted to the two logs I have on the background, so I won't have to mont them to the background itself. I really just want this to have that full jungle look to it. I want it to be consumed in plants while not just being an overgrown mess if you know what I mean hahaha.
