Your Crested Gecko NEEDS These Plants | Best Humid Bioactive Plants

Good Morning, Reptilians! This week, we're talking about crested gecko plants. These are some of the easiest to take care of and the easiest to find. Obviously there's LOTS of safe plants out there, and I'm definitely not a plant expert (quite the opposite actually). But I get asked about bioactive plants a lot, so here we are. Hopefully this helps!

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💖🦎💖🐍💖🐢💖🐸💖

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.

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!! 😊

l am glad I'm not the only person who has issues keeping plants alive in an aquarium.

[kismitj]

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

[trialbyfirepyrography]

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.

[PunisherExotics]

Think you could maybe do another video on best plants for a heavy bodied reptile such as a ball python?

[briannagreene]

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❤

[Syddddddddd]

Morning Elle! Excited to watch this because my cresties plants keep dying and I need some ideas 😂

[alithorstad]

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. 🥰

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

[PrestonEditz]

Usually for Bromelia, at least what has worked with me is buying bromeliads soil

[LEMIEisa_BALLPYTHON]

I worry about mold growth on my background plants since the cleanup crew can't reach them...any tips?

[dacisky]

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.

[preppedforeternityhomestea]

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!

[LemnzPuppetz]

This vid is exactly what I was looking for lol

[georgiaherrera]

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?

[janemurdock]

I would really appreciate a video of how in the world do you clean this tank?

[triple_A_rockhound]

For my fish tank i have live plant dose well shockly 🤣👍

[calicocriterisopod]

Im the exact opposite. I can only keep plants alive when they’re in a tank.
