live plants

[John]

Right now I only use pothos - my baby Gray Treefrogs love it. How boring am I?

Well I have read that
1- live plants dont always last too long
2- they make it sightly harder to clean the tanks
3- they can also take over a whole tank
4- you have to keep the plants to what they are acustom too

I have been thinking that maybe I am making too much hard work for myself, but I have 3 plastic vines in my set up and the plastic stems annoy me because they don't look realistic. Also some times the stems are not that smooth and one of my whites has scratches on its back so i would prefer to remove them all together.

I have just bought a branch and some fake branches that I will be able to bend and twist to connect it with the real branch just to make it as nice and exciting as possible for the frogs.

I have also bought a fake orchid for some colour injection into the tank and with the addition of the bromeliad that should inject colour and hiding places for them, as well as the leaf's hold water which I'm hoping will keep the humidity up.

Or this could all just be wishful thinking and go completly wrong lol

Jennifer Macke from Caudata.org has some great suggestions, tips and photos on this page.

I have been purchasing plants from Josh's Frogs over the years with great success. They have quite the stock list which expands a bit on the previously posted list.
