Replacement for this "tree"


Recommended Posts

This b. heteroclita is NOT thriving in my tank. But my parrots LOVE to sleep in it. We call it their "tree." What can I plant/glue in its place to give them their hidey tree? Note: tree's current condition is in the second photo, without the parrot.

Could a large java fern do the trick?

My blood parrot likes to hang out under and in this giant amazon sword I have. But, amazon swords take a while to get big (and boy do they get BIG), and they also require a lot of root tabs. For lower maintenance I agree on the java fern idea, though you will definitely have to dose with liquid ferts to keep it happy.

Edit: Oh also, do you have lots of caves for your BPs? They love hiding inside pots and vases.
