Safe plant for red foot

[Yoda_the_redfoot]

Can anybody tell me some red foot tortoise safe plants that I can add into my Rfs enclosure. Also what kind of substrate I would need to put down for the plants?

Any plant you buy needs to be washed of it's dirt and placed out of reach until all possible chemicals used in and on it has disappeared. About 3 to 6 months. Pothos, Boston fern, hostas to name a few. If you can get them from someones yard that is chemical free or from a cutting, you can use them now at tortoise height.

What kind of substrate do I put the plants in, once I put them in his enclosure?

The same substrate you have your tortoise on. Orchid bark or fir bark or coconut coir is mostly recommended. I like coir for hatchlings and coir with one of the barks on top for older ones.

Repot the plants and place the pots into the Orchid bark
Most plants just don't do well. Between the insufficient lighting, trampling and nibbling. Be prepared to replace them regularly.
Most indoor enclosures with live plants (that I've attempted) have been complete failures. But Lyriopi and Spider plants can work. So can some ferns and Pathos

Ok, thanks

Go with cheap plants. Or maybe some native plants and figure it out as you go.
Hopefully your luck will be better than mine
