-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Frogs, especially arboreal (tree-dwelling) ones.  Also great for other small amphibians and reptiles, especially arboreal (tree-dwelling) ones.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, some TerraFirma, depending on humidity levels.

Soil Depth: Shallow to moderate with proper drainage.

Lighting: Most light levels suitable-- Higher light will promote brighter coloration.

Humidity & Misting: 40%-100% *Higher humidity preferred, but can tolerate low humidity.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: Bromeliad Neoregelia stay low and grow wider with age, sending out shoots with "pups" or offsets that will eventually grow to full-sized plants, blooming at the center of the plant! These pups can be separated once mature, if desired. It has a shallow fibrous root system, mostly used for anchorage rather than water absorption, as this plant mainly uptakes nutrients by being watered into the center of the plant, allowing the water to flow down into the "tanks" between the leaves of the bromeliad.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: High temperature tolerant, and can be somewhat drought tolerant when established.  It can be used as a front (low) placement or mounted (in high humidity environments).  

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 6" potted bromeliad Neoregelia is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
