Live indoor plants?

[DrSkyentist]

Hey all!

I was wondering if there are any healthy, non-mold loving plants I could put in the habitat for Dax? The planting medium would be the coconut bedding.

Thanks!

Cool! I especially love the jade idea. What about Christmas cactus? And what should I do about fertilizer they probably use?

Any plant you buy, you should put it away from the tortoises for 2 months at least unless you buy organic !

I don't, but then again I don't; even have a plant, so you could easily buy one for feeding. They get rather large though, so maybe a bit big fir an enclosed space, like your little guy's table.

I already have one that I've had for the last 3 years. It would fit and she loves the occasional leaf but that forum does not really answer weather or not its ok to have it always available. Any Idea where I can find out?

http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/cactus-pads-how-much-how-often.54181/ That one is pretty descriptive.
http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/my-baby-sulcata-always-has-poop-stuck.96455/ Slightly off the subject, but Tom mentions cacti in general are more a side dish and not fed too often.
It does seem to be hard plant subject to come by
