RE: [Gecko] Plants

[Jon & Stacy Boone]

Yes, I keep Gekko vittatus, and I include Sanseviera sp's.  I had a website 
saved that had an enormous number of Sanseviera species available, and with 
photos of every form.  Well, the site is gone - crap!  There are several 
dwarf species (like "Golden Hahni") that work well in horizontally oriented 
cages.  Some of the species are a little sensitive, however, the most are 
very durable.  Several are extremely easy to propagate even in a lizard's 
terrarium.  Leaf-cuttings, and plant separation work well with this genus. 

Check out this site, and get yourself a good book that covers "house 
plants" and another on succulents (for photo reference):
http://www.aridlands.com/index.htm
They carry some extreme plant species.  I also like Stapelia, however, 
if/when they flower get yourself a clothes-pin and turn on the fans! 
 Stapelia puts out an enormous flower that has the common name "Carrion 
flower".  S. gigantea produces a flower about 8-10 inches in diameter, 
looks like a starfish, and smell like road kill.  They are unbelievably 
beautiful and have unbearable stank-onia - all in the same sentence.  I had 
one last fall producing flowers for nearly 3 weeks (each flower only lasts 
about 3 days) - this plant had to be placed outside - which inevitably 
ruined somebody's cook-out downwind!

Several Kalanchoe's, Haworthia (great for desert terrariums), Portulacaria, 
Fenestraria, and others make decent terrarium plants.
