Ficus in a terrarium

[RSS]

Not really an orchid question, but it is a terrarium question.

Has anyone had any luck growing a ficus inside a tropical/cloud forest type of terrarium? Obviously if left to grow naturally it would very quickly overwhelm even the largest of terrariums, but using bonsai techniques, it should be possible to keep it miniature, and maybe even get some nice aerial roots.

If you've done this, what types of ficus have you tried? How have you arranged things to keep the plant contained?

Thanks,

Tyler

ficus is prolly on of the most common plants used in chameleon vivariums. they are very hardy and provide strong branches for your animals to climb on and great folliage.

kclark... there is a message at the top of this thread.

this thread is a feed. it's from another site. one where most questions are far from related to animals in any way. the link in the first post is there for a reason. it'll take you to the thread where it is on the original forum. subsequently, if you post there... the person who posted the thread/question should eventually see your response.
