    Default Re: What plants are safe for Pacman Frogs?

    I saved these plants a while back for my pacman but was only able to buy a few, from what I read they're terrarium safe but please double check any that you're interested in with someone with more experience!
    Tried to pick ones I thought would survive being trampled but more delicate species can always be planted on the wall.

    Prayer plant (my sister has one, easy to grow, easily propagated, slower growing but larger than pothos. very striking patterns)

    Wandering jew

    Creeping fig (have seen oakleaf creeping fig suggested, but by dartfrog keepers)

    Baby tears (soleirolia soleirolii , this and creepingfig were my absolute favorites after reading about them, but unfortunately babytears are a little hard to find.)

    Button fern (pretty much any fern is okay as long as it's small, but these are common and pretty)

    Zebra plant

    Peperomia fagerlindii

    Swedish ivy

    Pink polka-dot plant
    (These things are adorable! But need to be propagated when the old plant starts to die off, also planted where the frog can't get to them as they're more delicate)

    Gynura aurantiaca (purple passion plant)

    Piggy back plant

    Creeping charlie

    Dandelions
    (these would harm or possibly kill any other plants in the tank, however they're hardy and would provide nice hiding spots for your frog, besides, flowers!)

    And of course, Pothos! Even after having it's roots torn apart while splitting the plant, rinsed of all dirt and fertilizer, with a only a half cup of dirt and maybe an hour of filtered indirect sunlight my golden pothos is growing like crazy, you can't go wrong with them.

    A lot of the leafy greens used for gutloading would be safe too, if you can get them to grow in those conditions. Various grasses as wellif you just want to throw in some seeds every once in a while to keep things growing.

    In general it's a good idea to choose plants that could be propagated easily from cuttings should anything happen to the original, if the tank doesn't have a bulb or get any sunlight you may need to keep two plants in pots so you can switch them out to recover.
