If your buying bromeliads buy them before they have the big pretty flower on them that doesn’t happen till the end of their lives so if you buy it already blooming just know it’s time is limited some species will last for years after blooming some only a couple months at most
lol my crestie killed his bird nest fern by using it as a crash pad. currently the only plants in with my cresties that aren't silk, are pothos. i've got a few varieties for variation of color
Highly recommend Peperomia obtusifolia! My girl Gylfie loves hers and sleeps on it every day. They have large thick leaves that can easily support the weight of an adult crestie, and thick stems that become like vines over time. They're easy to find (got mine at Walmart for $5) and easy to grow (can handle over- and under-watering, I can testify!). Really a great vivarium plant.
Thanks for making that list! I'll add the wandering jew for the tanks too. It adds both green and purple and is easy to grow. Just cut them back every couple of months and you are good to go. Any one can grow those.
Thank you so much! I have been doing pretty good 🥰 the nerves on my numb side are waking back up - which is great! But also pretty painful 😅 I hope you have a fantastic week!
I love your channel so much. Your videos have taught me so much about reptiles and has inspired me to get bearded dragons. I’ve saving up to get 2 in May. Love you and your channel❤
Great video again! A video idea popped into my head watching this. I don't know if you have any Ikea's near you, but if you do come up to MN for Build off 2024, there is an Ikea near the airport and not too far from SD. It would be great to see a walk through of their plants, both live and faux and how they could fit into different enclosures. I was able to get a really good and not too spendy haul during my last run. I also grabbed their cork desk mats to try as a background for a couple of my enclosures. Easy to cut to fit and since I wasn't 100% sure if they were safe to have inside the enclosure, I used double sided sticky tape that's reusable to secure them from the outside. Jury's still out on if I'll keep it but my cresties love feeling more secure with 3 sides of the glass covered. 🥰
Ooooh love that! I haven't been to ikea in about 12 years when I lived in Maryland. 😅 I think the closest one to me is about 3 hours away in Memphis, but that is definitely something I could do in the future. I used to love going to ikea!
My tank is for my gargoyle I have a snake plant with one bent leaf cause Toffeetoes likes to rest on ir. I also hgave a kangaroo paw fern and another AU fern whose name I forgot. I like the idea of moss and will investigate that further.
Great video! Can you use these same plants in a leopard geckos tank? Have you ever bought plants from Etsy? I heard they sell them but was wondering if they came damaged or diseased. Thanks!
Good morning! I had a fake plant with my beardie for years. He never touched it until the last few months. Leaves were knocked off, and some leaves had noticeable nibbles. Are the recommended plants OK for nibbles?
Sansev, Pothos, and Draceana are ok if only a little are eaten, but since beardies do tend to eat the plants in their enclosures, I'd suggest getting things that they can eat a lot of. So things like aloe plants, spineless cactus, and pots of herbs/veggies are great 💜
My grandmothers could take a stick & put it in the ground & rose would be blooming by spring . My mother can keep that stick going . I have too long of a honey do list to keep anything going . As long as you can keep plants alive in the house you are good . I know how my grandma did the stick thing but it's time & timing &:when to touch & when not to & the moon phase & now we know why we call some women witches good thing we are not burning witches now . Be happy you can keep them alive in your house
That's so awesome. ✨ I'm definitely not THAT good. I almost killed the climbing roses in my front yard when I first got them, after Den said they were impossible to kill 😅But they're thriving now!
l am glad I'm not the only person who has issues keeping plants alive in an aquarium.

I didn't know that.. mines been a flower for two months
You are not the only one who has problem keeping plants alive that's me. Thanks for this one on plants. Have a great Sunday
GOD BLESS💖🦎💖🐍💖🐢💖🐸💖
Think you could maybe do another video on best plants for a heavy bodied reptile such as a ball python?
Definitely adding that to my list 😊
@@ellesreptiles awesome. I am in the process of building an enclosure for one of my ball pythons. I think I sent you a pic on ig of it so far

Happy Sunday Elle, hope you are feeling better and everything is going well for you!!! Always continue to look forward to new videos every Sunday!! 😊

@@ellesreptiles don't rush anything and keep giving yourself the time to heal so you don't have any setbacks!! Thank you Ma'am!! 😊

Morning Elle! Excited to watch this because my cresties plants keep dying and I need some ideas 😂
I would really appreciate a video of how in the world do you clean this tank?

Toffeetoes is an awesome name hahaha
Thanks for the vid✌️
For my fish tank i have live plant dose well shockly 🤣👍
I worry about mold growth on my background plants since the cleanup crew can't reach them...any tips?
Good morning !
Good morning! 😊

Im the exact opposite. I can only keep plants alive when they’re in a tank.
I can't keep any plants alive! 😂

Plants need fertiliser
Love your channel too bits. But I’ve gone fake plants. I don’t think the Russian rat can tell the difference. You are the bee’s knee’s!
