Tank update ! New plants !

[LilyPad]

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!
