5 gallon terrarium, plant suggestions?

Posted by jmc_1987 7a VA (My Page) on

Hi. I have a 5 gallon fish tank that im going to use for a terrarium, its one of those Aquahex 5 tanks that you can get in the fish section, and they are as the name suggests, hexagonal in shape.

Id like some plant suggestions for my soon to be 5 gallon terrarium? I have heard that oxalis (Shamrock) can be a terrarium plant. I have purple Oxalis Triangularis, would that be ok?

Any suggestions for plants are welcome. Thanks!

RE: 5 gallon terrarium, plant suggestions?

Sorry JMC, haven't popped in since summer began. That's a small tank so I would suggest sticking with equally small plants.

Beyond that, much depends on what conditions you plan to provide (lighting, how often you expect/want to water, temperature, etc). For a start I'd suggest looking at the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section. You'll find it on the opening page for this forum.
