Vivarium & Terrarium Plants

Plants we grow that work inside a glass enclosure — dart frog vivariums, crested gecko tanks, bioactive setups and closed terrariums. Humidity lovers, climbers for the background, bromeliads that hold water in their cups, and ground cover that will not outgrow the tank in a month.

Every listing notes whether the plant is safe around animals that graze. Aroids like pothos and philodendron are the standard vivarium vine and are fine with frogs and geckos, but they contain calcium oxalate and are not a good choice where a tortoise or bearded dragon will eat them — see Safe for Grazing Reptiles for those.
