    Default Plant advice?

    Heya

    I'm sort of new to the vivarium thing...I'm building something for some WTFs, and I want some advice on good plants that won't get mowed down by the frogs.

    I already have spider plant, snake plant and pothos cuttings, but are there any plants that would work well as ground cover or would grow on cork bark? I have some vertical/slanted cork bark that will be at the back of a filtered pool and some more to the left of that, and I wanted to know if there is a good resource for terrarium plants around here or if anyone could give me advice for some good plant choices for those two locations.

    Also, I'm probably not going to do it this time around, and I know most people use the great stuff foam method for vivs, but what about the clay method? I really like the fact that it's clay and not something made of plastic, so I find it more attractive than the foam.

    Hi Raiden,

    Sounds like you have a great start!
    I have a list of the plants that are in my enclosure in my "Set-Up Album" Tried and true ! ( however I have red-eyed tree frogs). There are also links to view a photo of each plant.
