Plants Not Doing Well

[flybyferns]

Hi Fellow Long Islander

The mound moss is very difficult to get going!
I hate to say it , but I gave up! It does ok for a while ....then ....
It's hard to tell what might have happened to the philo.

Could you possible post a photo of the entire tank?

Please remind us.......... as to:
- what frogs you are planning got put into the tank.
- how are you maintaining the humidity
-information about the the lights
-what soil/substrate did was used
-how were the plants prepared prior to being put into the enclosure

Talk to you soon !

I intend to house three fire belly toads.
I'm misting the glass and the decor twice a day and half the top is covered with glass. I'm counting on the moss and substrate to maintain some moisture and have a large water area. Unfortunately, I can only maintain it at 60%.
I have one daylight bulb for plant growth. I forget the brand and the other information on it, but if I recall, I'll post it. There's also a moonlight heat bulb but that's only for cold winter nights.
I'm using Zoomed eco earth.
For the philodendron wend imbes, I rinsed the old soil off their roots in a sink faucet and then planted them right into the vivarium. For the moss, I soaked them for a few minutes in a bucket of water, squeezed the water out, and placed the pieces on top of the substrate. The moss is the frog moss from Zoomed.

Here's the entire tank:

This is one of your problems. Shredded coco is not the best as a plant substrate. ABG soil is a much better option when maintaining plants. Lights are important too so will wait for you to post the details on them. Good luck !

Found the light bulb information! It's a GE compact fluorescent 26w. Here's the information. Amazon.com: GE Lighting 89095 Energy Smart 26-Watt Daylight Spiral Compact Fluorescent Bulb: Home Improvement

I'm trying to research ABG soil, but I can't find anything on it. Can you tell me about it?
