    If you choose epiphyte plants, you will not need background pots at all. You pin them in with some long fibre sphagnum. I ended up HATING the pots in the first foam background I made. No matter how small, no matter how well planted, I could always see them and they look oversized and unnatural.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    Dang that's a bummer.

    I just butchered a 5" netpot to try and cut down the footprint in the background. It'll have some vines or hanging plants inside. Will try hard to not notice the plastic pot in there now!
