Secure any live aquarium plants for a turtle?
I have a Boxie and wanted to add a live aquarium plant for its environment. It's in a 4 feet x 2 feet, "table" and has different "areas". I would put a couple of live plants in the area of "plant", but I had read that I could eat / nibble on them, so I wondered if I would be safe and if so the plants would be good for her. She is very active and visits to all areas of your table. He thought he might enjoy something alive. Anyway thank you very much for your time. Crossing fingers that I will be able to do this. Thanks again! PS-It is housed in an aquarium, which is in a big box / table that is about 10-12 mm deep. She has a "pond" area which is really a flat plate that loves the room in. I wanted to add some live plants to surrounding their plastic raft.
His "desk" sounds incredible! I'm sure she loves the intricate set. And yes, box turtles (and most of the turtles in general) are notorious for gnawing on plants that seem interesting and tasty. Here is a list of plants that are safe for your terrarium: Bougainvillea Bridal Veil Bromeliads Jasmine Carnation Coleus Dahlia Lilac Heather Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana) Pothos Here is a list of edible plants, the scientific name followed by common name: Abutilon hybridum / Flowering Maple Achillea millefolium / Yarrow Aegopodium podagraria / Goutweed Bishop Agave sp. / Leaves of Agave Alcea Rosea / Hollychock Alchemilla vulgaris / Manto de la Virgen de Aloe Vera / Aloe rusticana Amoracia / Horseraddish cerefolium sylvestris leaves / Cow parsley Apium graveolens / Celeriac elatius / tall oat grass Bellis perennis / English Daisy Buddleia spp. / Butterfly Bush Calendula officinalis / Marigold Capsella bursa-pastoris / bag Shepard Cichorium intybus / Chicory Cirsium arvense Canada Thistle, California Thistle, Creeping Thistle Bugle officinale Symphtum / Comfrey Crepis biennis / Rough hawksbeard Cynara scolymus / Artichoke all Cynodon dactylon / Bermuda Grass Cynosurus cristatus / Crested Dogtail Dactylis glomerata / Orchard grass Dahlia Daucus carota / Wild Carrot Echinacea purpurea / pallida / angustifolia / Echinacea / purple cone flower africanus Eriocephalus / wild rosemary Festuca arundinacea / Reed Festuca pratensis Huds / Meadow fescue Festuca rubra commutata / Chewings fescue Foeniclum vulgare / Fennel Fragaria vesca / European wood strawberry Galium verum / Yellow bedstraw Hemerocallis sp. / Lily Hibiscus rosa-sinensis days / Hibiscus Holcus lanatus / Brown top Ipomoea batatas / Sweet Potato Leaves Lamium Album / White Dead-Nettle hispidus Leontodon / Rough Lolium multiflorum Leontodon / Italian ryegrass Lolium perenne / Perennial ryegrass Lotus corniculatus / Birdsfoot trefoil Lythrum salicaria / Purple Loosestrife Malva sylvestris / or mauve Mallow Medicago lupulina / Black lupulina Mesembryanthemaceae / Ice Plant Morus spec. / Mullberry Nasturtium officinale leaves / Berro Opuntia spec / Chumbera Papaver pavoninum / Peacock Poppy Petunia hybrida / Petunia Phleum pratense / Plantago lanceolota Timothy / English plantain Plantago major / common plantain Plantago media / Poa pratensis Hoary plantain / Kentucky bluegrass Portulaca oleracea / Purslane Raphanus stivus / radish leaves Ribes nigrum / Black Currant Rosa canina / Wild Rose Rosa gallica / Domestic Rose Rubus fruticosus / offinicialis Blackberry Sage / Garden Sage Salvia pratensis / Meadow sage Schlumbergera bridgesii / Christmas Cactus Stellaria Media / Chickweed offinicialis Taraxacum / Dandelion Tragopogon pratensis / Trifolium hybridum beard goat / hybrid clover Trifolium incarnatum / Trifolium repens clover / Tropaeolum majus Clover white / Nasturtium Urticaceae / Nettle Viola arvensis / tricolor Viola Campo thought / Johnny jump-up Vitis vinifera … Vitis labrusca / Grapes officinialis Valthea / Marsh Mallow Ficus Carica / fig leaves Origanum vulgare / Oregano Rubus Ideus / Raspberry densiflorum Verbascum / Mullie Good luck!
