I was wondering, what are the best type of plants to put into a frog tank? If you reply with the scientific name could you also give the common name as well. Thanks . [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Sorry, I don't know enough about the pacific treefrogs to offer any advice. Of course plastic plants are easy to clean and easy to keep green [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Most ferns (Birds nest, maiden hair, squirrels foot, etc.) would work and tolerate the relative low light levels in a terrarium plus add a natural, wooded look, along with mosses. Otherwise the fairly common Pothos and other Philodendron relatives will work, though some grow pretty fast and large for most set-ups. Some of the ornamental leaved or Rex-cultorum Begonias would be fun and showy as well as variegated Ivy. None of these should be toxic, to the best of my knowledge. Tillandsias (air-plants) attached to wood pieces are always good as well as some of the more dwarf Bromeliads (often used in Dendrobates set-ups).

Look for any residue on plants you buy for your frog tank, as some nurseries spray pesticides just as a precautionary measure before shipping plants out. Wash the leaves of anything you put in the tank very carefully, top and bottom sides.
