Hello. I have a question regarding plants, especially for an indoor enclosure that I could not find a good answer to.

Can anyone suggest any plants that are completely tortoise-safe plants and unappetizing? I have tried a few different plants, all on the tortoise table's "good" list and they all get eaten about as fast as possible.

Is there anything that could be provided for decoration, hiding places, visual interest etc. that a tortoise (CDT) won't immediately inhale like it's going out of style?

Thanks!

Right now I'm trying to grow Aptenia Cordifolia in pots inside the enclosure.
It's only been a couple of weeks but they seem to be doing OK so far.
The plants are mostly out of reach from the tortoise but he did nibble a little on the lower hanging leaves but didn't seem overly interested.

You could also try spider plant.

Both are safe to feed.
