 Need info about real plants for fbt`s

if anyone has any info about which are the best type of real plants to put in the fbt`s tank i would be really gratefull. there must be an easy way to plant them in but still be able to clean the whole tank out without damaging the roots, maybe in little pots or something ? also are there any plants which grow in water because my toads love climbing all over the plants and hiding in them. will plants grow in bed a beast ? i would love something that will grow like ivy all over the tank, but ivy is probably poisonous ? if anybody knows of any good sites i could look on it would be great ........ thanx

Go for Pothos, it’s the best terrarium plant you’ll get, it grows in soil or hydroponically so is ideal for growing in and out of water in your aquaterrarium. It’s very tollerant of temperature and lighting also.

Your welcome. I have them book marked just in case anyone ask or if I see a plant that I like, I look them up before buying. Good Luck.
I mainly use the pothos, cause I don’t have a very green thumb. lol (I have killed many of plants) lol

toad2, we started out having a mild winter also, I had bulbs coming up again. It has now been cold and snowing so they are long gone now. I don’t do much with the outside plants, they seem to do better when I don’t touch them. lol
Can’t wait to see pics!! Good Luck.
