Please note that the stems on these plants are not very woody, and that larger animals may break/tear them with their weight.
Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna
Soil Depth: Shallow to moderate, with proper drainage
Lighting: Low to medium
Humidity & Misting: 50%-100%, with higher levels suggested for optimal growth
Mature Plant Size & Root System: These mound-forming plants will max out at 8 inches tall and possess thick, corrugated leaves. They have very thin, fibrous root systems that are shallow but allow for maximum water absorption with adequate humidity.
Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures/low humidity may cause leaves to brown. Best placed in a corner, or towards the back of an enclosure.
Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes.
