Plant for terrarium

[sfmmfreak]

Well i just pulled out the pennywort that was in my Tylototriton kweichowensis tank because it was dying. I feel bad because my newt hid under there. So I'm looking for good plants that I can put in the terrarium that is lowlight.

I think I'm going to get some Java Moss too.

I'm confused, is the tank aquatic or does it have land/soil? I didn't have much luck with pennywort either, but Pothos is practically indestructible.

Well the tank has both, but I'm looking for plants for the soil.

I'm really looking for an easy ground cover that will allow my Newt to hide in the greens and feel more secure.

Black Jungle has lots of groundcovers that do well in moist tanks. Sellaginella and creeping fig would be good choices.

Wow that's a great website!

Thanks for the help everyone!

OK, one more quick question.

I've picked out:


Selaginella - Plana: Selaginella - Plana

But I'm stuck between:
Selaginella - Kraussiana "Gold Tips": Selaginella - Kraussiana "Gold Tips"

and

Live Tropical Moss

I'm looking for which one will carpet better in a moist shady tank.

Selaginella.

Tropical Moss wont do so hot. If it does acclimate the growth will be very slow do to the level of light and low heat.

Black Jungle is the best! I talked with the guys for a while at M.A.R.S. and they are amazing people..
