Zuriel Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hello all! I've had my two girls (Gromphadorhina portentosa) for a while now and was thinking maybe they could get an enclosure upgrade. Their current one is 10in in width, and 20in in length. (Ten gallon fish tank) They'll have to stay in that one though, sadly. Are there any safe plants for them I could find at a local store to put in there? Their substrate is the reptile coconut husk fiber, could anything grow in that? Or would I need to find organic soil and place plants in a pot? They're in a darker corner and my room stays in the 70s, even in winter. They've got a wire lid (tiny holes) to cover their enclosure. Also, could I use natural wood? I would find something at a local petstore in the fish section so it'd be free of chemicals. Would that work? Thanks!

Bhjjr Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi Zuriel I don't have experience with plants in with my roaches but here are some links to earlier discussions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhjjr Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The pet store wood would work great. Others use pieces of bark. I am trying almond branches (no nuts) in with some Honduras cave roaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
