nope I meant Ficus pumila a common garden plant.
It can grow very big and needs pruning so that it doesnt overtake the tank.

epiphytic broms, orchids probably wouldnt get flowers but they still look nice, i think ther are vines but they usualy are atached to the ground in some way. creeping fig is practicaly a vine. its that stuff you see on old buildings.
hehe giraffe :grinyes:

sorry i got tired of looking back. way i see it plant a creeping fig in the right, plant a variety of epiphytic plants, and fill in some of the gaps with spanish moss. from this picture you already have some tilansia. whats ur general area? here in florida ther are hundreads of epiphytes just outside the door. if you could find one id replace the brom with a giant airplant

well the brom died from root rot
i live in new jersey and im pretty sure that there are no epiphytes in my area
i planted a creeping jenny in the hole thats most right, below the tillansia on the right.

my plan is to get the creeping fig and alot of tillansia and fill in the rest with wild moss that i can collect on one of my hikes on streambeds or something.

but what about a strain of peperomia, i was looking on black jungle and i saw that some strains are epiphytic? would this plant be appropiate for my tank?
