Plants for enclosure

[Dcatalano]

I want to add some plants to Gabby’s enclosure. I see others sharing pictures of pothos and spider plants.
Are these safe for decoration? And/or will my Russian tortoise eat them? Do you generally bury the pot a little for aesthetics?
Share some pics of your planted enclosures!

Do you have an enclosed chamber or an open table?

An open table.

An open table.

Ahhh...okay. I have a closed chamber made of PVC, so I am able to hang plants from the "ceiling."

OK. I have a board across the top for lights, so maybe I could hang plants too. Of course, my tortoise is in his hide most of the time. I hope to create more of a variety for him in the open part.

Pothos and spider plants are safe for a tortoise. They may or may not eat them, each one seems to have their own likes and dislikes. I have my pothos in a very heavy pot that is just slightly sunk into the substrate.
