This week I am joined by Alex Menke of Frog Daddy. We begin our discussion by talking about breeder ethics, and the frog and plant market. Then, we take a deep dive into how to properly care for five species of intermendiate level to advanced level vivarium plants. Specifically, we cover Begonia, selaginella, margravia, anthurium and sonarilla, along with all the issues that they may have and how to overcome them. We also talk about fungal infections in plants, and why we should lever use commercial potting mix!
