Small Plants for a Brev enclosure???

[SoCaliSon]

I recently acquired a 40 gal tank that I am planning on turning into a brev habitat. I am doing my reading, and planning the whole thing but I was wondering... The usual safe plants we all know are rarely seen in mini form, accept for sheffs... I see small ones all the time. But I was curious about some of my other options. What small style plants have a lot of you "Brev Heads" used successfully?

Thanks,
Joe

Ficus pumila, Hedera, Epipremnum...

Walmart has a knack for carrying tiny Pothos, tiny Ficus, tiny Mini-Palms, and tiny Schefflera!

I will check Wal mart also Juli... Never think to check their nursery.

If you have enough money, it would be definitly very funny to put some bonsai trees in the tanks, the brevicaudatus are the dragons in the treetop

Ha! That would be pretty funny! I might look into that... Pretty cool idea actually. Would their be a specific species bonsai to look for? I really know very little about them accept that they are small trees that you prune and style.

I think ficus bonsai would fit - they are also very cheap ones

The bonsai is such a cool idea. I want to try that.

Oh my! I almost posted about this but deleted the post instead. Thought it was just too weird of a suggestion and could imagine poor Joe rolling his eyes at me. LOL I use bonsai but not the formal style. I bonsai ficus mainly but also some Texas Privet because they sprout up in my yard all the time from the hedge. They keep their leaves year round. I love bonsai and have turned just about every plant I have into one. But it's cham-style.

Only thing is, you want to use plants that do not need to go through winter and those that won't lose their leaves.

I do remember seeing a bunch in your green house. I can just imagine how cool this would look in a tank. If you have any suggestions Elisa let me know.

Thanks Guys,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I got some nice little plants at Target. They also had a nice miniature Ficus that stays small and you don't have to prune it. They sell a pot full and I just seperated them into a little forest in one corner of my tank.

Oops ... Oh crap.. my mouth. Actually her and a her family have had to notify the authorities a few times of some crazy looking guy lurking in the bushes around their house leaving trails of drool around their Chameleons. They chase me around with a fly swatter trying to keep me off the property...jk.
