Hi
I bought a couple plants at k-mart yesterday and wondering if they would be good for my vivarium ?
china doll -
umbrella tree, schefflera
hybrid ivy
elephant ear
thanks for your input.

Nadine,
what size tank are you working on?
Most all of those plants will get too large for the average vivarium. The word "tree" is a dead give away. They will be ok for a while ( short while on most of them). but will soon out grow your tank.
hmm,
i got a 75 gal. tank.
how about the ivy?
thanks

Nadine,
hard to tell from the picture, but if it is a form of Hedera, vivarium conditions might be too wet for it, but they can
be adaptable to a wide range of conditions, so it might work.
