Plants in enclosure

[Tortoise213]

I have a 3 year old russian tort in a vivarium hopefully getting a table Christmas and was wondering what plants I could put in both setups please.

Also to anyone who has an indoor tort table could I please have some pics for inspiration

Thank you

Hello!
Plants for tortoise enclosures:
1. Spider plants (most popular, probably)
2. Boston fern
3. Hosta
4. Carex (sedge)
5. Various succulents - escheveria ("hens and chicks", aeonium, aloe, spineless opuntia, gasteria)
6. Mallow (there are ornamental varietes)
7. Coleus
8. Prayer plant

Actually, the list is endless (check thetortoisetable.org.uk). For the open table I would avoid tropical plants requiring higher temperatures and humidity.

Here is one random picture for inspiration:

I hung a crystal in Dozer’s bedroom window. When the sun goes down and hits it just right, it casts a bunch of prisms inside of his enclosure. The bright colors catch his eye, then walks around trying to bite all the little rainbows. 🌈 🐢
