Bog/Marginal Plants

[AbraxasComplex]

I'm looking for a variety of bog plants for a paludarium I'm setting up. I have access to temperate species at my local garden store, but I am aware that some tropical species sold in stores actually grow in wet soils or shallow water.

Is anyone aware of what tropical plants can be grown in a bog/swamp? I'd like to use some plants beyond crypt, javafern, or other plants you find in aquarium stores.


Thanks for the help.

You could always try carnivorous plants... I love those things!

It is a communal Hysterocrates gigas tank... meaning I'll have a lot of spiderlings running about. No carnivorous plants this time. Haha.

check out the plantfinder over at aquaticplantcentral. if the plant says it can be grown emersed it should do well in a bog setting.
