    Popular choices for covering expanded foam are silicone + coco fiber or peat moss, or Titebond III + coco fiber or peat moss. I prefer the titebond approach but I've never used it under running water. Maybe Bill has?

    It's not usually worth it to get small orders of plants across international borders.

    I'd suggest you go to local plant suppliers and look at the tropical plants they have available. Take note of the names of anything that looks interesting to you, take pictures if there are no names. Then find out if they are safe for frogs and suitable for vivariums via google or asking here. Then go back and purchase. If you can find a plant shop that has experience with terrariums, that's an added bonus (almost none have experience with frogs).

    You can also browse this forum for plants people have used, especially http://www.frogforum.net/plants-plan...nt-thread.html

    Hi Jonah,
    four of my favorites for the red eyed tree frog enclosure
    I can't imagine you would not be able to find these
    1-pothos ( often mistaken for philodendron )
    2-philodendron (vine type) a favorite of the red eyed tree frog- they sleep on the underside of the leaves
    -this plant can be used to wind up, onto, the wood you have in your enclosure-the frogs will really appreciate these leaves as high as possible
    - you'll find lime green , dark green, variegated and spotted
    3-calathea
    4-draceana -compact species

    Have fun !
    Lynn

    In answer to Brian's question, yes, titebond /cocofiber combo hold up very well under running water.
