Best live plants for dumpies?

[Doxiegirl]

Hi all,

I am setting up a viv for a dumpy this weekend, and I'm planning on using live plants. I have live plants in my firebelly tank and love the natural "jungle" look that they make. I'm planning on doing a false bottom with waterfall- pool area and bed-a-beast covered with moss for substrate. The tank is a 15 tall, I know it's small but this dumpy is not very active- he's been at the store I work at for a while, although I'm hoping he perks up at my house. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Something stong that can support his/her weight. Not being all that knowledgeable in the plant department, I can't tell you what that is.

Here's a list i managed to find. There are no images tho so it'll be a case of googleing them all till you find a suitable one!


Plants Suitable for Growing in Terrariums and Dish Gardens

Golden pothos might be a good starting point tho, I've heard the name mentioned a few times.

Also you can get some dwarf rubber plants that might make a nice hardy foliage with good stem thickness.

I also found this one on a page that was dispelling toxic rumours about plants. (looks like it might be a nice terrarium plant if it will withstand the conditions).


Cordyline fruticosa 'Florica.'

I've also heard of pothos being used for white's

congo philodendron. they get really big though, so it cant be in there for long, but they have large sturdy leaves

Pothos will be your best bet. It's very hardy and stands up really well to trampling. However, it still won't support the full weight of an adult dumpy.
