Hey, I was getting anxious to get going! This is as close as I could get. The substrate meets the front vent height-wise in front, then slopes up to be about an inch deeper in back. At this point, I hd just thrown all the (still) potted plants into the tank to get an idea how things might look! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559012577489-IRITINCR6VPOTZGJRT2K/2019+04+20+Dart+Frogs+%28114+of+16%29.jpg Blog - EuroStyle Vivarium Micranthemum tweedeii at the bottom of the vivarium in quite low light, and growing just fine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558998905426-8LDIEJQQJ0NHJUDABTYR/2019+03+11+Orchids+%28101+of+2%29.jpg Blog - EuroStyle Vivarium https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558998905465-V02FFWB0LIOCJR9E2TJ5/2019+03+11+Orchids+%28111+of+12%29.jpg Blog - EuroStyle Vivarium https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558998904670-T7TA8CNZ4H18XGY619DK/2019+03+11+Orchids+%28100+of+1%29.jpg Blog - EuroStyle Vivarium https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559000587575-FZI8F7BL09MFJZPJGA8K/2019+05+27+MistKing+%28100+of+2%29.jpg Blog - EuroStyle Vivarium https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559000587672-BMX9PWH5LIQ1PUW1PYWO/2019+05+27+MistKing+%28101+of+2%29.jpg Blog - EuroStyle Vivarium https://www.glassjungles.net/blog/category/Vivarium monthly 0.5 https://www.glassjungles.net/blog/category/Terrarium monthly 0.5 https://www.glassjungles.net/blog/category/Streets monthly 0.5 https://www.glassjungles.net/blog/tag/Vivarium monthly 0.5 https://www.glassjungles.net/blog/tag/Terrarium monthly 0.5 https://www.glassjungles.net/about daily 0.75 2019-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558923176030-TYVZ9WXBB9CIJOG9KQYN/Portrait+for+web.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558923765557-SX9DQTDGNQ7VVMQA2AYE/Sg+Book+image.jpg About https://www.glassjungles.net/home daily 0.75 2020-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1584893398695-H9PK59H58C3WPE9T6GRD/2020%2B01%2B20%2BFront%2BHall%2B%25282%2Bof%2B2%2529.jpg Home Welcome to my home and my small worlds! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558969643777-66TY18YCC15UNL87IO7H/2019%2B03%2B27%2BVivarium%2B%252841%2Bof%2B50%2529.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558969750175-7YRRDT58IDXP39NGUQIW/2019%2B01%2B18%2BDesk%2BTank%2BChallenge%2B%25281%2Bof%2B5%2529.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558968672922-2MWBTCUTSW5HWNJVEJP9/2019+04+13+RD+Randall+Terrariums+%28126+of+28%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558968656128-8IJJJUNH78DF7KZA57F8/2019+02+06+Bowl+Terrariums+with+Katey+%282+of+3%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558969813035-KLFZB44I3JM5NQTECQN0/2019%252B04%252B14%252BHandbag%252BWabi%252BKusa%252B%252528102%252Bof%252B12%252529.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558969508033-NX6ZEKUSNOQ0TCVGVVL0/2019+04+20+Dart+Frogs+%28114+of+16%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1558969531939-01FB7TSG7NXK1K928MZR/2019+05+16+Geckos+%28100+of+2%29.jpg Home https://www.glassjungles.net/plants daily 0.75 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559421396398-KVIGIQXS03A96X0OMH75/Vivarium+Banner+%281+of+1%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/029c5161-f9c8-43a7-9953-8d524c5fbe4e/2019+10+28+Biorb+%2831+of+9%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/e419c724-a32e-497c-87d9-f7ed5af88c2c/2019+06+02+Vivarium+Plants+%28101+of+5%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Acorus 'chacosekisho' I know very little about this specific plant, except that it came to me with this name. Acorus in general are marsh plants that enjoy good light, and this one follows right along with that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/e71fc3e3-fec2-480b-836d-112d0b69b5b8/Actiniopteris+australis.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Actiniopteris australis Common name - “Eyelash fern” These are difficult little ferns in my experience. They need VERY high humidity, and they keel over and die if you look at them cross-eyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/732e0285-bf52-4492-86b6-8499dbc39aa6/2019+06+01+Vivarium+Plants+%28122+of+50%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Adiantum x There are many species of Maiden Hair Fern and they can do very well in vivariums, terrariums and paludariums. They often show up adventitiously in moss mixes. They can often be purchased in 2-3” pots at garden centers and the plants can be further divided into small sections for use in terrariums, where they will grow slowly for quite a long time. I like them better in small terrariums, because their root systems can become invasive in a vivarium as the plant grows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1569351144594-QQOIHZ0V665IAC2U47M8/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252811%2Bof%2B28%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Aeschynanthus sp. Common name - “Lipstick Plant” Very fast growing, and can be used in terrariums as well as vivariums. Will need regular trimming. Can also be used as a house plant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/de97ad08-19cb-48cb-ad90-8443cb94a094/Aeschynanthus+longicaulis+%27Black+Pagoda%27.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Aeschynanthus longicaulis 'Black Pagoda' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/bf40f5e2-36a3-4b44-bbe9-ec5f9ad5f18b/Alocasia+%27Black+Velvet%27+spathe+3.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Alocasia 'Black Velvet' This is a relatively large plant, though a smaller Alocasia. I like this in moderately humid vivariums, such as those for New Caledonian Geckos. They do very well in this humidity level, and their leaves are tough enough to handle the weight of the geckos as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/a609b6e2-ce2a-4881-8faa-88129ee8451a/Alocasia+%27Dragon+Scale%27.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Alocasia 'Dragon Scale' This is a relatively large plant, though a smaller Alocasia.

It likes a humid environment, but not consistently wet substrate. Does best in a terrarium designed for this type of plant. Too much light will bleach the foliage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/cca7d13d-ae7d-4f14-877e-5fba95466cdd/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252826%2Bof%2B28%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Anoectochilus “Charlotte’s Web” A jewel orchid hybrid, this one is a bit easier than some of the species. It likes a humid environment, but not consistently wet substrate. Does best in a terrarium designed for this type of plant.

It likes a humid environment, but not consistently wet substrate. Does best in a terrarium designed for this type of plant. Too much light will bleach the foliage. This is not a particularly easy species; I’d start with Macodes petola or Anoectochilus “Charlotte’s Web” before trying this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/d3f67143-81ea-433a-ad0f-2e529c866925/Anthurium+scandens+%28gracile%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Anthurium scandens (gracile) This vining plant might seem like a bit of a “plain Jane”, but its prolific air roots add a lot of interest to a large vivarium, and the flowers, when they show up, are interesting as well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/20f9cf05-ea34-4a57-9549-223268c581d7/2014+03+26+Tanks+%2818+of+28%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Anubias barteri ‘Coffeefolia’ A mainstay of the aquarium world, all of the the Anubias genus also do great in humid terrariums and vivariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/8c3c60cf-edea-48da-8655-d808b72da326/Anubias+barteri+var.+%E2%80%98Nana%E2%80%99+Petite.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Anubias barteri var. ‘Nana’ Petite A mainstay of the aquarium world, all of the the Anubias genus also do great in humid terrariums and vivariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/b2a259fa-8a24-4a37-b343-4fddb5b59db6/2019%2B01%2B28%2BVivarium%2B%25288%2Bof%2B21%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Anubias barteri ‘Nana’ Petite White A mainstay of the aquarium world, all of the the Anubias genus also do great in humid terrariums and vivariums. Any white or variegated Anubias grow more slowly and are more delicate than the normal green versions, but they do grown more quickly and are more robust when grown emersed! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/c05ea215-5b75-4ff7-a548-cd066a084410/Anubias+hastifolia.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Anubias hastifolia A mainstay of the aquarium world, all of the Anubias genus also do great in humid terrariums and vivariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/7b533f40-9c8c-45df-a7d1-7e3ff6f1a545/Barbosella+hiftzii+flower+03.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Barbosella hiftzii This is a REALLY tiny orchid. It seems to need fairly good light, and only moderate humidity for me. Blooms only intermittently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/f9ae98ea-4dc1-4448-8345-556587992d10/Begonia+amphioxus+01+.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia amphioxus This trendy Begonia was very expensive even a year ago, but tissue culture has brought the price way down and made it much more widely available as well. It can be a tick finicky while settling into new conditions, but once established, it is a solid grower as long as humidity is high, and flowers almost continuously. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/497c4809-a077-49e2-9ca6-799ba2a99381/Begonia+baik+01.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia baik I killed this one.

There are several forms of B. burkilii available. The species is from India. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559486669332-468CXZQG2898I5OSW57I/2019+06+02+Vivarium+Plants+%28100+of+1%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia ‘Buttercup’ This seems to be a cultivar of B. prismatocarpa with leaves about 1 1/2 times the size of the the species. The flowers are also a bit larger. Otherwise, they are very similar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/260e4192-aab5-4fb5-b1ed-e769e578dda4/Begonia+cleopatrae+01.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia cleopatrae This is one of my favorite species begonias for terrariums or not-too-humid vivariums. It is not fussy, the leaves are stunning, and the flowers are pretty too! It is native to Palawan Island in the Philippines. I have read that is also works well as a house plant, though it grows slower under those conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/6a1cdb97-ee10-4c5f-8fc9-00e7b8906b73/Begonia+chonchifolia+01.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia conchifolia This Begonia is sometimes confused with Pilea peperomioides. But it is a moderate sized, free blooming, humidity loving Begonia, all of which make it a very good candidate for the terrarium or vivarium! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/405d87ce-68e4-456f-a7db-c51b1507a8ff/Begonia+dodsoni+01-2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia dodsoni Most of the Gobenia Section Begonias are pretty similar.

As such, it is a wonderful option for the back wall of a vivarium, where it will settle in and bloom quite freely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1521cfe6-4b89-4cf8-8b16-72c3e411ed50/Begonia+foliosa+var.+foliosa-2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia foliosa var. foliosa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/e3b56909-89cf-4d62-90e1-ca4eea5c776f/Begonia+glabra+%27Bronze%27.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia glabra 'Bronze' I haven’t had this one for all that long, but it seems quite trouble-free under terrarium conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/7a77aee7-632d-461b-b1b3-decf6ba83890/2019+01+28+Vivarium+%283+of+21%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia ‘Kit Kat’ This is a small cultivar that I’ve been growing for years in dart frog viv. It takes any amount of humidity without trouble. The leaves are pretty, though the flowers aren’t much to talk about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/6815ec81-c899-4513-8bf3-eca952e1bb3f/Begonia+klemmei.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia klemmei https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/74dc0806-b24f-4f88-b9e2-40f553a93848/Begonia+sizemorea+flower+02.JPG Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia longiciliata 'Sizemoreae' This is a good sized, easy to grow Begonia. I does well in a vivarium or terrarium, but I suspect it would also do well as a house plant. It is not fussy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/4905ff59-60fc-4533-b180-0ef7a378e0e1/Begonia+loranthoides.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia loranthoides sp. rhopalocarpa This is a very different Begonia, from Cameroon. It has stiff, woody, trailing stems and tough, shiny elongated leaves.my experience with it has been the it is as tough as it looks. I suspect that it is probably not a good candidate for a very wet vivarium, but for the moderate to less humid vivarium or as a house plant, it is a fun and easy Begonia to work with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/b6b6dcbc-d67d-4edc-a596-9f1314be0e1b/Begonia+luzonensis+1-2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia luzonensis This started very slowly for me, but once it got settled, it has done very well. Seems to like more light than some. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/7f52f5f7-677b-4ddc-a304-e0adee072a12/Begonia+maldonado+01-2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia sp. ‘maldonado’ Another Gobenia Sect. Begonia. This one can get really aggressive in a dart frog type environment… to the point that some froggers rip it all out. In smaller terrariums, it can be controlled more easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/e40eb719-d8bb-4acd-85f4-b431ba533eb7/Begonia+manaus.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia manaus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/f98f5e8d-cc35-4c28-a5df-e5d1b9b7584f/Begonia+maurandiae+%27Blue%27+01-2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia maurandiae 'Blue' Of the Gobenia sect. Begonias I’ve worked with, this one is, by far my favorite! It is not QUITE as aggressive as B. maldonado, and if it is grown under not-too-bright light, has the most beautiful blue cast to the foliage! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/6689938c-04bc-4f3e-9020-f85ae2f0e9c5/Begonia+polliloensis+4.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia polliloensis This Begonia with its finely divided leaves can be very useful in humid vivariums and terrariums with reasonable air flow. Interestingly, not only does the leaf color change (become redder) with higher light, but the flowers turn from white to pink! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/6bc3dcf8-4148-4812-ade4-c64e7f3d191e/Begonia+prismatocarpa+03.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia prismatocarpa This little Begonia is a prolific bloomer and does great even in very low light places deep in the bottom of humid dart frog vivariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/a6fe0e2b-48ef-4383-9626-709801559c80/Begonia+pustulata.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia pustulata https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/d1492807-77a5-4dc1-86b5-ad2b443d9659/Begonia+raja+05.jpeg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia raja This is another beautiful, relatively easy grower under a range of terrarium conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/2dc0586f-2348-4c3e-8029-628a541ccf70/Begonia+Raspberry+Splash.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia “Raspberry Splash'‘ A typical Rex hybrid. It does fine as a house plant or in a Wardian Case. Probably too large for most terrariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/7c9cce90-1d3b-4267-913c-6d0e4974d969/Begonia+%27Regal+Minuet%27+flower+%281+of+1%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia ‘Regal Minuet’ My very favorite Rex hybrid. It is a medium size, with beautiful leaves. It tolerates even high humidity and regular spraying in dart frog vivariums, and blooms profusely and continuously with pretty pink flowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/be628023-211e-4f83-937a-305d4459baac/Begonia+soli-mutata+.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia soli-mutata The name means that it changes with the sun, and the color of the leave do change! It is equally at home in the terrarium, Wardian Case or as at a house plant. It has lovely sprays of small white flowers to go along with the beautiful leaves too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/8a28eeb6-33f7-4f9b-bf54-854955b0eb5e/Begonia+sutherlandii+%27Saunders+Legacy%27.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia sutherlandii 'Saunders Legacy' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/d50ba9eb-5502-4e2f-90be-497fb75f4ed7/Begonia+%27Sweet+Pea%27+03.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia ‘Sweet Pea’ Similar to Kit Kat, this is a nice, adaptable little Rex cultivar for vivarium use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559444263001-D3AZL91ILGQ665OPPZZ3/2019%2B04%2B06%2BVivarium%2BPlants%2B%25283%2Bof%2B43%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia thelmae This is a great small scrambling Begonia species for vivariums and terrariums. It needs a fair amount of humidity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/3336d35b-d6e9-44ea-ba97-9c47b27f67a0/Begonia+turrialbae.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia turrialbae Another good species for the terrarium/vivarium. I haven’t killed it! I’ve actually grown it well enough that I’ve been able to spread it between several different vivariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/60fdd038-f156-448a-a4bd-701602c71471/Begonia+variabilis+flower.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Begonia variabilis I love this one… and haven’t really learned how to grow it well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/9ad41cbc-f64a-4015-86f4-f57295271576/Biophytum+sensitivum++%283+of+5%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Biophytum sensitivum This is a fun plant that, as its name implies, is sensitive to touch; closing up when touched. When it blooms, it shoots seed around the enclosure, so you will find baby plants growing up all over the place. Once you buy one, you will have them forever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/dfada371-a9de-4262-a304-7ec4d5d86e55/Bolbitis+heudelotii+01.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Bolbitis heudelotii A wonderful aquarium plant, B. heudelotti can also be used in very humid vivariums. It does best in a paludarium, where it can grow out of the water, or on the edge of a waterfall. But it can also be established in a humid vivarium if you are patient and persistent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/37eb3ad3-da6a-458e-b4d5-f7d82d8409ef/Bolbitis+heteroclita+var.+cuspidata+2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Bolbitis heteroclita var. cuspidata This tiny little fern can be fussy in the wrong conditions. But give it what it needs and it grows very well. It needs very high humidity and a shady position; probably not surprising for a waterfall plant. I have it growing on the edge of waterfalls in two different paludariums, where it spreads beautifully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559489011353-IL11YBQIRAF14X1SLEC4/2019+03+01+vivarium++%28101+of+3%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Bucephalandra kishii “skeleton king” There are many Bucephalandra types and species that are available through the aquarium trade. I will add more in the future. Many of them do well in humid vivariums and terrariums. Please ONLY purchase Bucephalandra that have been tissue cultured or grown by another hobbyist. Most of the plants currently offered for sale as “farmed” are being taken from the wild in an unsustainable manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/0fd21a05-ed93-47c9-8e42-dd4b36fb5fa1/Bulbophytum+intersitum+%28odontopetalum%29+%281+of+1%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Bulbophytum intersitum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/68606213-ec65-4ddd-a9dd-ca769a4f9483/Calvoa+sessiliflora.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Calvoa sessiliflora This plant is said to have similar growth requirements to Sonerila Sp. But I have found it to be more sensitive and likely to drop leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/8f669396-a815-458c-b74d-79d6fec93069/Ceropegia+woodii+%28101+of+2%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Ceropegia woodii “String of Hearts” Not a plant for a very humid terrarium, but can be useful in a terrarium or vivarium of more moderate humiditidy, such as those for New Caledonian Geckos. Also does well in Wardian Cases. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/2f081db5-a759-4117-bf96-a847ff6f763a/Ceropegia+woodii+%28100+of+2%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Ceropegia woodii “String of Spades” Not a plant for a very humid terrarium, but can be useful in a terrarium or vivarium of more moderate humiditidy, such as those for New Caledonian Geckos.

Not apparent in this photo is the pretty wine red back side of the leaves. One thing that is, perhaps, a little nicer, is that it doesn’t grow quite as fast! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/7b9f29cb-97dc-4752-873a-1a07c2148976/Cisus+discolor+3.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Cisus discolor An absolutely gorgeous plant, sometimes erroneously called “Begonia vine” due to the brightly colored leaves. (It is not related to Begonias!) It is too large for small terrariums, and even in larger vivariums, it can be weedy. But oh what a lovely weed! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/ebee670e-0151-4f59-8443-169909f22ce6/IMG_1995.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Codonanthe carnosa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/414f7ca8-b945-4f17-908f-c7e4ba423245/Condonanthe+digna+flower+%283+of+1%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Codonanthe digna This small leafed plant works in terrariums or vivariums, and even in fairly moderate light will delight you with pink-tinged white flowers on a fairly regular basis! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/16430888-b312-4497-8666-48077b73b52a/Crepidomanes+minutum+02.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Crepidomanes minutum This is a very pretty, tiny filmy fern. It absolutely MUST have very high humidity, kept on damp sphagnum or in very wet conditions in the vivarium/terrarium. At the same time, it is so small and delicate that it is easily outgrown by other plants. So take care that it has the space it needs. It is happiest in shady areas. Various forms of Crepidomanes minutum can be found widely in the tropical Pacific area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/12a5548a-fcd2-4a19-a6cd-a76beda482c9/2019+04+21+Vivarium+%28106+of+22%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Cryptanthus x There are quite a few different Cryptanthus cultivars available. Also known as “ground stars”, they are a small Bromeliad that normally does grow on the ground. However, they canal's be pinned to the background in smaller vivariums to take the place of Neoregelias in builds where those might be too large. They need bright light to keep their bright pink colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/d147966c-bba0-44c7-a334-fb28d7c96166/Cryptanthus+%27Absolute+Zero%27+%282+of+1%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Cryptanthus 'Absolute Zero' This is a stunning black and white cultivar, as long as it gets strong light. (otherwise it fades to greenish) This shows how Cryptanthus can be pinned to the background and do very nicely. This happens to be quite a large cultivar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/67ccf194-c7b6-42e7-9d5f-181efe122e82/Davallia+trichomanoides.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Davallia trichomanoides One of the rabbit’s foot ferns, this fern is a native to Malaysia. It can get rather large, up to about 17” tall, but is frequently available in 2-3” pots at the big box stores these can be further divided into very small pieces that work very well in terrariums, where they grow slowly and are useful fro quite a long time with regular pruning. This is not a plant I would use in a larger vivarium, because the roots of a larger plant are very strong and can undermine the background of the build. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1584015746691-S4Z4L1NZ2H2K3PO83SPN/Deinostigma%2Btamiana%2B2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Deinostigma tamiana (Was Chirita) One of my favorite small Gesneriads, this little gem flowers profusely and regularly, and reproduces both by offset and by setting seed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/f2100d9b-24c8-4cd8-a533-fe40f746a80f/Diastema+aff.+hispidum.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Diastema aff. hispidum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1569352052417-H2MBE0XKWBFRKSE8PA56/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252817%2Bof%2B28%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Dischidia ruscifolia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/5d966671-f193-4575-8b9a-60db8a82da2a/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252851%2Bof%2B4%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Dossinia marmorata Sorry for the poor photo, but it makes the point.

Java fern works well in very humid vivariums. It can work in terrariums, but only if they are designed specifically to be very humid environments. SO very often, it makes sense to design the entire terrarium around them and other aquatic plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/8fab109d-253a-4bb0-93c1-dc8750faf606/Leucobryum+glaucum.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Leucobrym glaucum Common name - Cushion Moss This is a wonderful native moss that grows very well in the humid terrarium or vivarium if planted properly. Please collect responsibly and legally, or buy from responsible sources. This moss is prone to disease (it seems to be fungal) even in the wild. I have found that the best way to avoid problems is to immediately treat any new pieces with a copper sulfate based anti-fungal spray or dip before use or storage. This moss can be propagated quite easily from clippings if you are patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/9005f85b-f349-4d99-b9f3-4d906d99c058/Liverwort+01.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Liverwort (NOID) Occasionally you can find terrestrial liverworts offered for sale. Other times, you can find them growing adventitiously in the pots of plants purchased from greenhouses. Or you may find them growing in a greenhouse, and WITH PERMISSION, ask to take some. These often can do beautifully in a humid vivarium or terrarium, giving a different texture than moss to the low areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/bf5c6d5c-9085-4880-a26e-6800e5acaefa/Ludisia+discolor+01.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Ludisia discolor This is one of the easiest jewel orchids to keep, either as a terrarium or home plant.

They reproduce by producing offset “pups’ that can be removed and used elsewhere.They occasionally bloom in the vivarium, and this often signals the eventual death of that specific plant, though its offsets will continue on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/3ea478c9-b8cb-486d-a5e7-8f217c5f1682/2019+06+22+Vivarium+Plants+%28140+of+41%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Nephrolepis exaltata 'Fluffy Ruffles' This miniature Boston Fern cultivar tops out at 12”, making it a great candidate for terrariums and vivariums. Like most ferns, it thrives in high humidity. You can often buy these ferns in tiny, “miniature plant” pots, and divide them into even smaller sections. divided and used in terrariums in this way, they grow quite slowly, and can be used successfully in even small terrariums for a fairly long time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1fdbc34e-6b45-4e60-bc55-d7bcb0672668/IMG_9890.jpeg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Paradrymonia campostyla "Suriname" This vining Gesneriad is hardy as nails, and fast-growing enough to be a bit annoying for more experienced folks. But this makes it a wonderful beginners’ vivarium plant, though it might be a bit large and fast growing for most smaller terrariums. In good conditions, with enough light, it will also produce pretty, small white flowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1569351288680-YGNGU455B3PV3J0N5HGN/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%25289%2Bof%2B28%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia angulata P. angular can be used as a house plant, terrarium plant or vivarium plant. So clearly it is not fussy. It vivariums, I find that it does best pinned to the wall with it’s roots or cut end wrapped in sphagnum and allowed to find its own way. Spray it regularly until it is well-rooted, but make sure that it also has good ventilation. Then it is bullet-proof! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/3e133468-a229-40da-aaa9-45dbffc93424/Peperomia+caperata+%27Schumi%27.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia caperata 'Schumi' P. caperata comes in a number of different cultivars and colors. This dark red one is a lovely accent plant for mid sized terrariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/e3c2ec55-5978-400b-8c9c-e77211161d1a/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252810%2Bof%2B28%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia cf. eburnea This pretty little trailer is not as common as some, but is not expensive when you can find it. It is a pretty little plant and useful in either terrariums or the right place in a vivarium. It does nee higher humidity to thrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/ab2e8ebc-ff99-44e4-8ac2-3da41463bb50/2019+04+06+Vivarium+Plants+%28141+of+49%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia emarginella "small leaf" The smallest peperomia, this little vining species is extremely prolific as long as it has moderate light and good humidity. In fact, if it has a fault, it is that it can over grow other plants if you don’t cut it out from time to time. But tis tiny foliage is useful in places where nothing larger will do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/7d2878ba-9665-46a8-a3e2-4eb32bb2d037/Peperomia+fagerlindii+inflorescence+03.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia fagerlindii The deep green, heart shaped leaves of P. fagerlindii on its deep purple vine makes it very attractive, I the terrarium or vivarium. I find that this one also flowers readily for me, and although the flowers aren’t particularly showy, flowers are always fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/ede28a3c-3a0e-4d4f-80b8-e55b5b2f1d9a/2019+04+06+Vivarium+Plants+%2834+of+43%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia guttalata This little trailing Peperomia definitely requires a humid environment, and is easily crowded out by larger plants. But it’s dainty sets of three leaves at each node make it a welcome and different looking little plant, worthy of a spot in the terrarium or smaller vivarium. Native to Ecuador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/9a29bee5-f00b-4c35-84f2-a52db6f429bf/Peperomia+aff+jamesoniana.jpeg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia aff jamesoniana This is another small creeping Peperomia This one with small but narrow lanceolate leaves, green on top, maroon underneath with a cream line. It is also another one that can be easily crowded out by faster growing, larger plants. It is native from Panama to Ecuador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1565452785083-HA0PPNFM52QDT80MYGHJ/Peperomia%2B%2527Lago%2527%2B%25281%2Bof%2B1%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia sp. ‘Lago’ This is a stunning small Peperomia that grows into small rosette type clump with some trimming. The color is stunning; the color in this phot is accurate, showing the lovely blue-green color with the pale blue center stripe. The back side of the leaves are maroon. It is native to Lago Ecuador. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/ba8d8ac6-a4f2-406c-9b18-2f5a9753de95/Peperomia+%2522Pepperspot%2522.jpeg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia ‘Pepper Spot’ Peperomia ‘Pepper Spot’ is a small trailing Peperomia that can be used as a house plant, it terrariums or in the vivarium. It does appreciate humidity, skeet the in mind if using it as a house plant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/ea84a109-c973-4ab8-af13-4cbb3370694b/2019+04+06+Vivarium+Plants+%288+of+43%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia prostrata The common name for P. prostrate is “string of turtles, and it is a popular house plant. But I think it grows much better in the vivarium or terrarium, placed on the wall, in good humidity, and allowed to creep around on its own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/abc4d861-e220-4eab-8abc-b726f6999c17/Peperomia+puteolata.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia puteolata This is a beautiful Peperomia native to Columbia, that I have used in terrariums a number of times. It is probably useful in vivariums also, though I have not used it that way. It has rather stiff stems, and grows upright for a while before starting to trail. It can also be grown as a house plant quite easily, so it does not REQUIRE high humidity, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/c01f5a48-8b6f-4c00-b4fd-a13bee42ee52/Peperomia+rubella.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia rubella P. rubella is a tiny red-stemmed Peperomia with pretty white-patterned green leaves. It is a lovely addition to the terrarium or to a spot in a vivarium where you can keep it from being crowded out. It can be grown as a house plant, but in my experience, it does better in a humid environment. This plant is native to Jamaica. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1569121635137-KR2IERV8KPSFAHC3UZPH/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252812%2Bof%2B28%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia serpens Peperomia serpens is a very useful vining plant in the vivarium and terrarium. it is vigorous without being invasive, easy to grow, and pretty. It is widespread in both South and Central America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/0c3ab801-8dbb-405e-8739-3b7c7dad3d71/Peperomia+taroriana+%2522White+Stripe%2522.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia taroriana "White Stripe" I don’t know much about the background of this tiny little viner. But it needs a humid environment and is easily outcompeted, so make sure it has the room it needs to thrive and show the delicate white lines on its leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1569352382888-R2DJ5Z5XO7ZXUFMBSFZ1/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252818%2Bof%2B28%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia ‘Tingo Maria’ My very favorite of the vining Peperomias, P. ‘Tingo Maria’ has lovely, velvety leaves with beautiful reddish patterning on the top side and red bottoms which match the stems as well. The plant gets its name from The Tingo Maria are of Peru and as might be expected from its natural environment, it is a humidity lover that does best in vivariums and large https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/cabd592c-aba2-491b-9be3-359248efca01/Peperomia+trinervenis+01.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia trinervis This stunning Peperomia is trailing in form, and quite adaptable. It can be used in terrariums or vivariums, but can also be hardened off and used as a houseplant. It is a native of Ecuador. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/b4bc9555-1462-4536-85a5-14a7d8fe3703/Peperomia+turboensis+02.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia turboensis This plant might be confused with the more commonly seen “watermelon Peperomia”, Peperomia argyreia. But it has more silver, the leaves are more pointed, and it tends to vine more than grow in a clump. It also prefers higher humidity than the more common P. argyreia, making it a great candidate for larger vivariums, as seen here. This Peperomia is native to Columbia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/996323fc-8af1-48c1-a72f-a3bf30e30581/Peperomia+verticillata%2C+Red+Log%3F+2.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Peperomia verticillata, Red Log This fairly common Peperomia is wide spread in South and Central America. It is a bright, pretty plant that works well in terrariums and also as a house plant. I have not used it in a vivarium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559487583316-IVZPV7UTXMRCS3153QFK/2019+06+02+Vivarium+Plants+%28100+of+2%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Philodendron ‘Burle Marx Fantasy’ This is a plant that is more often used as a house plant, but as long as you have a large enough vivarium, there is no reason not to use it there! It’s pretty, silvery leaves are lovely there! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/3792206a-29ae-45b1-b041-67d7a677bb80/Philodendron+hederaceum+var.+hederaceum2020+04+27%2813+of+38%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum (Philodendron “Micans”) I LOVE this Philodendron, whether it is used as a house plant or in a vivarium! While it is fast growing, and will need regular whacking back in a humid vivarium, its beauty makes it worth the effort. It is also useful in vivariums meant for mid-sized herps that require humid conditions, because it is robust enough to withstand the animal climbing over it. Native to the tropical parts of Central and South America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/96e49d62-ec43-4403-b606-6e40a9cba8bd/Philodendron+from+Cara+Wade.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Philodendron (NOID) from Colombia (collected by CW) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/d045c609-6eed-4b1f-9db1-0f8d0375282d/Philodendron+verrucosum+2020+04+01+%2840+of+48%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Philodendron verrucosum This stunning Philodendron is known as a temperamental, pest-prone house plant. You can use VERY young cuttings for a very short while in some vivariums, where it will grow happily and healthy. Unfortunately, it will outgrow the space quickly in all but the largest! It is native to Ecuador. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/230d6d0a-7839-4160-a5ae-1f1aea5e5743/Philodendron+verrucossum+%27Mini%27+05.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Philodendron verrucosum 'Mini' The “mini” version is more useful, but even this one needs a lot of space. It will work well in a viv the size of the largest ExoTerras, though. You trade off more manageable size for a bit less striking patterning on the leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1569546069179-U294FW4FFVE7I4495L9W/2019%2B09%2B19%2BVivarium%2Bphotos%2B%252851%2Bof%2B9%2529.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Philodendron ‘Wend-Imbe’ This is a cross between Philodendron Wendlandii and Philodendron Imbe. It is a nice, compact Philodendron with leaves that top out at only about 6” long and 1” wide. The plant forms tight clumps that works well in smaller and mid-sized vivariums and terrariums. It also grows more slowly than many! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/6c61146a-140a-4a72-bcd0-878b4ead70d7/Pilea+%28Ecuador%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pilea sp.Ecuador This species from Ecuador is very sturdy and easy to grow, but has a reasonable growth rate, so is not likely to take over. Can be used either in vivariums or miss sized terrariums https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/592159db-18e9-4565-ae49-7de314aefb83/2019+04+06+Vivarium+Plants+%28118+of+49%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pilea libanensis ‘Aquamarine’ While you can use this plant in the vivarium, it is probably more popular as a terrarium plant, where it is very pretty and grows well. The best way to use it is to just insert tip cuttings into your terrarium and let them root in place. Because of the small leaf size it works very well in even quite small terrariums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/082f284a-26a5-47c4-b3d6-dc77a8de76b3/Pilea+pubescens+liebmannii+%27Silver+Cloud%27.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pilea pubescens liebmannii 'Silver Cloud' This Pile has slightly larger leaves but makes a lovely terrarium plant or vivarium plant. It will need regular topping to keep it bushy and pref=vent it from becoming leggy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/15d8321c-373f-4866-83d7-939a26f9f467/Pilea+spruceana+.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pilea spruceana An inexpensive, stunningly beautiful and readily available Pilea that is another good option for terrariums and vivariums as long as you keep on top of pruning to keep it tight and bushy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/50cdb699-7891-40ef-a97a-ea8188e6759e/2019+06+02+Vivarium+Plants+%28100+of+5%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pinguicula x gigantea While many carnivorous plants are not great candidates for the terrarium or vivarium, Pinguicula can do very well in the humid vivarium or terrarium, with a proper substrate for them, and they will happily rid your build of fungus gnats! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/41caf600-7d22-4533-9656-adc5b79ee410/Piper+crocatum+03.jpeg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Piper crocatum From what I have been able to determine, even though this and Piper ornatum are being sold as the same plant, they are not. P. crocatum is from S. America, while P. ornatum is endemic to Indonesia. P. crocatum is supposed to have red undersides to the leaves while those of P. ornatum should be silver/white. However, I have also been told that P. crocatum generally has narrower leaves than P. ornatum. As can be seen from the photo, my specimen of P. crocatum, which has very red undersides to the leaves, also has very round leaves. So it does seem that leaf shape can be variable, which probably adds to the confusion between these two plants.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559441423909-A1D6RHKX53C8K00NBE7X/2019+04+06+Vivarium+Plants+%2843+of+43%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pleopeltis percussa This is a small, pretty creeping fern on a fuzzy white “foot” of a rhizome. It is not an expensive plant, but not always easy to find. It does well in a humid environment in moderate light conditions. It is a slow grower, so don’t let it get crowded out. P. percuss is wide spread in Central and South America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/d004ad84-d827-4b19-8361-98b8e29908dc/Pleurothalis+allenii.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pleurothalis allenii This is one of my best growing little orchids.

They can grow large, so can only be used at their smallest sizes, but with that in mind, they can be pretty for a while, They also do not like very wet conditions, so are not candidates for very humid builds. However, in the right container, they can be attractive and useful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/956f5c27-ea4f-4e55-a352-05f7942c2491/Procris+rpulcra+03.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Procris pulchra (was Pellionia) This beautiful creeping vine is tremendously useful in both terrariums and vivariums.

It is even larger and faster growing, but every bit as useful a plant. This one is also sometimes found in hanging baskets in garden centers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6adf4c809d8e396c63bae8/1559442006461-LCW7IQW7RUUNBEVYANH4/2019+06+01+Vivarium+Plants+%28115+of+50%29.jpg Vivarium and Terrarium Plants - Pyrrosia nummularifolia This tiny fern is from Papua New Guinea.
