jjmears Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.K.Luterman Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited May 4, 2021 by H.K.Luterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
