Hello;

Today I went to Lowes and bought a miniature anthurium. I was thinking of putting it in my terrarium.

I have a coco-soil background built from Blackjungle's website that I was going to mount it on (dont these grow as epiphytes?)

The Terrarium's stats are:

LIGHTING- One 50 Watt heat lamp designed for lizards; one "EXO-TERRA 5.0 UVB" light running the length of the cage(also designed for reptiles and amphibians); and the cage is by an east-facing window.

HUMIDITY- 70-80%

TEMPERATURE- 68-80oF

SOIL (in case it isnt an epiphyte)- Coco-fiber (Eco-earth) mixed with liquid fertilizer.

SIZE- 18 inches(depth) x 18 inches(height) x 24 inches(length; from one side of the cage to the other.)

ANIMALS- Green Anole; Green Tree Frog; Gray Tree Frog.

Should I put this in my Terrarium? If so; where should I put it? Can I mount it on the background? Should I put it about 14 inches underneath the heat lamp, or should I put it in a darker spot in the cage? Do you think this will do OK in my terrarium? I would wrap some sphagnum moss around the roots if I mount it.

Thanks,

Chris
