Alright guys, got myself some plants but im not sure what they're called. hope someone here could name them..
here's some pictures :
close up of the plants :
anyone had any experience with any of the plants/mosses in the pictures?? especially the lighting and watering, which im still not really sure about...
Only have 1 26W spiral bulb ( 6500k ) for lighting..
anyway im gonna add a small bird's nest fern to the background.. what do u think ? any other better plants to rec for a low light setting?
here's the photoshoppd pic to show my idea..
its for a pair of WTFs btw haha.
cheers.
Just finished mine off, complete with waterfall, lets hpoe yours turns out as good as mine
My only experience is with the swiss cheese plant and that taller moss you have in there. The moss will thrive in that environment and I notice it doesn't grow too quickly which is a benefit. The swiss cheese plant (one with the holes) can grow ridiculously fast though, you will have to keep it pruned. It also likes a lot of light (no direct sun though, which you don't want in a viv anyways) and good drainage (kept moist) so it probably would have benefited from a layer of hydro balls or lava rock... Just keep an eye on it though, if it starts to die, you'll need to replace it with something else. Some of these plants surprise us sometimes!
I just put some creeping fig in my new viv, that is supposed to grow really well. I also have an african violet in one of mine that is thriving, those are supposed to be hard to care for, but apparently it really likes my viv! I have two ficus trees too, they like to drop leaves but the tree frogs LOVE them. I have an air fern, which is nice because I can attach it to my background without worrying about roots or anything. I actually went to the "tropical" section of my local nursery and just grabbed a few things to try...then a few more, and now I have a full tank!

TROPICAL WATERFALL - 9X9X9 - DiscountedPetProducts.Net
I bought that waterfall for my tank... made for an easy water feature. I also put a moss ball inside it as an addition to the filter that was already in there, I don't want to have to change it all the time. The waterfall was small enough to fit in my tank easily but big enough to give it a decent effect. I haven't put my frogs in with it yet but I bet they'll love it!

I use a 50 watt blue daylight bulb, the advice I got from other members was that is plenty of light for these plants. If you think about it, it makes sense, most of these are tropical ground type plants that get their light that is filtered through the leaves of other trees.
This picture is kind of dark and the vivarium is not 100% complete yet, I will take more in a few days when I move my frog in.
And my old viv with some of the plants (added 4 more after this picture)
