Default A Question of Fertilizer

Hey all!

Setting up a vivarium soon and am trying to plan as best I can for all factors going into successfully establishing & maintaining the plant life within! As I am trying to make sure that all elements going into this project are non-toxic to my future reptilian inhabitants, I'm curious as to whether there are any non-toxic plant foods/fertilizers that I could use in order to keep my plants healthy! I imagine that I'll be planting a number of bromeliads (which I figure may not need it bc they're epiphytic) as well as some other tropicals (areca palm, vines, ferns, mosses, baby's tears etc). I've talked to a few people at a hydroponics place, who seemed to think that some kind of organic fertilizer would probably work best, but they didn't really seem to know if it was non-toxic or not. I didn't want to take them on their word that 'organic' equates to zero toxicity so I thought I'd ask the forum! Any ideas?

What are you going to have as far as fauna? depending on what is running around you may not need aditional products for your flora
