    Hi, I am planning my 6ft Paludarium and am wondering if anyone has experience with plants which grow well in these setups. I have read up a bit and it seems many people tend to go for house plants (low light requirements) and bromeliads. I love the look of ferns! Please could you give me some cool plants :)

    Hi, I unfortunately cannot give you any advice. Since this is something I'd also like to know I'll be keeping an eye on the advice you do get...

    Hi @EnvironmentalBro In the book The Aquarium plant handbook by Mr Takashi amano.
    There is a section on terrarium plants = plants under this category are generally "moist loving"
    You may be able to find it at a second hand book shop.

    Hope This Helps :cool:

    Hi it will depend on the way your planning your tank, is it going to be humid? Will you have a mister system to keep it moist? Once that's been done plants are easier. Don't stick ti what others say, Keep your size in mind some plants grow slow and are ideal others a bit faster and will need more attention. Pm if I can help.

    @DewaldC Thanks, will check out. I love Takashi Amanos tanks.

    @bella Thanks very much, I am not decided as to whether it should be humid or not, that depends on the plants i want and right now im not sure which plants i want :) Still researching but I will give you a shout when I need help!

    @Rickus Yeah yeah I will photograph the whole thing haha :)
