I had the exact problem. What I did was put my little plants in their plastic pots under the substrate and covered the pots with plenty on top so if my T fell it would have a very soft surface to land on. It's working great. My plants get what they need and the substrate doesn't get over watered. My T love it too!!Anyone know of the growing capabilities of coconut fiber substrate? I would like some live plants with my avic.
probably slim to none. vermiculite or peat might harbor plant growth better. i think it's already been established that trying to grow live plants and maintain a proper T habitat is a lot of work and a headache to most people, but if you wanna try, more power to you!Anyone know of the growing capabilities of coconut fiber substrate?

yeah i agree.atthe start i didnt think my orchids were gonna survivie so i put a litte one in there. soon enough it didnt die and continued living. i think it wll work,even though flowers would take a long time bloom.can grow in coco fiber or peat, but need water and fertilizer, bromeliads too
Yeah, Orchids can deal with fairly dry conditions. I want to put a bromeliad in with my C. Schioedtei, but I'd need a 30" wide cage just for the plant!orchids can grow in coco fiber or peat, but need water and fertilizer, bromeliads too
you should add quite a bit more substrate.. these guys like to burrow.What about plants in a centipede setup? I have a 20gallon terrarium (24Lx12Wx20H), and the principle substrate is coco coir and sphagnum moss. I keep it pretty damp to maintain 75% humidity inside the enclosure, and wanted to start some live plants inside to give my big Scolopendra subspinipes (7inch-ish) some more variety of cover and sensory input. And recommendation as to what plants would do well in a low-med light environment, would be safe for my girl, and would thrive in 70-80*F temps at 70-75% humidity?
