geckolord1 is the LAST one you should trust
Default Viv update

Hi all, today me and my mom went to Lowes, and bought like a whole bunch a peat moss and a gallon of titebond 2 (titebond 3 was twice as much it was 32 bucks :O). I have 2/3 of the viv background covered with peat/glue mix. its drying but it started out a bit light in color so i pressed some more peat moss on (it was dry enough to keep its shape but wet enough for the peat to stick). i currently have in my posession one propegated pothos (I did it myself ), a pruned ficus benjamina, an ivy, and an african violet i will soon hopefuly once they go down have an orchid, and will have 3 bromeliads 1 pink sword, 1 red sword, and 1 purple regular, and maybe the kind of wandering jew known as red hill i already have one but its belongs to my green anole. (bboy this took a while to type hehe)

it wont be too complex since money is a problem so anyways in the middle there will be a ficus benjamina right above the cave on the bottom right i will have some african violets on the left in the pot there will be a pothos, and an orchid on the ground, there will be a bromeliad next to the ficus and an ivy in the top right pot i think thats it
