Juvanile cage and plant ?

[naich]

okay so i did some research and found the two plants that are accecable in my area and are cheap to my budget.

A. Ficus
B. Photos

The ficus is a foot and a half tall and will be placed on the cool side of the cage. I will have to trim it a bit," like around 6 inches" to make it ajustable to my liking.

The photos is only 5 inches and will hang on the hot side hiving exposer to the uvb tube.

1. How fast will both these plants grow, and how do you properly, "trim" them down to your specific size?

2. The women on the phone said that they have a little bit of fertalizer in the soil, how do i get rid of that and make them cham friendly?

3. How do i properly clean each plant so its safe to be used?

They are going into a 12.18.20 cage being depth,length, and height.

1. pothos grows like a weed fast. ficus grows medium

2. re-pot them with organic soil. available at any home and garden store

I personally dont use pothos, not that its bad, i just use plants like Ficus and other tree like plants, my ficus dont grow at all, but thats just because im not that good at taking care of plants

dracaena deremensis (dont know common name) are good also, they grow pretty well and dont need much light or water, thats why i like them, and theyre not that expensive either.

ficus and schefflera are two of the best plants you can get for your enclosure, pothos is great because it vines and grows out, in hi humidity conditions.


it all depends, some plants work better then others, just make sure they are from the safe list.
