Well, I'll be using Pothos (Devils Ivy) in my Bombina tank - but I think it'd go well in a WTF's tank. Nice cover, hefty leaves and easy to grow.

I would also say photo's as well great plant Smile

Maybe some spiderplants as well, though not sure if they might climb them Confused

Yeah I was planning on Pothos, I'm guessing anything suitable for dart frogs would also be ok???

I've seen a fair few photos of whites vivs with various bromeliads and ficus in there too

go for something strong and big leaved for maximum climbage!

Hi TAT,

In order to give a decent answer it would be great to know the size of the vivarium.

Also temps and humidity levels.

Hiya MJ, Gonna be using the Exo terra 24 x 18 x 24. Substrate will be Hydroleca and Dendrosoil with sprig tails and tropical woodlice etc. I'm scrapping the exo terra background and using coco panel for the back and possible one of the sides. After doing some more reading and finding a few more articles on t'internet (a wonderful thing but it should have a built in B.S. filter!!!!) I guess ill be using pothos and probably some creeping fig this should attach itself to the coco panel quite nicely for background effect. May also put a bromliad or two in there for a little color.

Any comments suggestions welcomed Very Happy
