I'm definitely going to stick with fake plants. You can be much more creative with them and you don't have to worry about keeping them alive as well.

I use the dollar store variety as well! When they start to look crappy, I just pull them off of whatever I've glued them to, and glue new ones in their place.
Only Toadie has a real plant in his tank, and that's because he needs a pile of dirt anyway.

just out of curiosity how can you tell if the cheap ones are safe?

adamanteus · 05-02-2008, 03:29 PM

I think they are all safe, Jeanette... just the cheap ones don't look so good.

My cheap plants look very good. You just have to shop around at the cheap-o places!!

I have a few really cheap ones that are bloody awful looking, but some of the cheap ones are pretty okay. Some of them are made of plastic like the ones intended for terrarium use.

I have a few plastic ones too, mixed in with the silk. I must admit, 90% of the plants at the dollar store look like crap, but they usually have some ivy garland that looks good, and some of the fake flowers have pretty nice foliage. I've managed to decorate all the tanks for just a few bucks.
