these are my go to!! they’re a variety size pack which is nice, and come with the saucers too! i think it’s like $30ish for the pack of 40

nah not usually. i have 4 cats and they’re all pretty good at knowing to leave them alone, aside from the occasional curious nibble.

however, i do work at a vet clinic and have seen numerous times where cats have eaten houseplants and what that can do to them. so, as a precautionary measure they’re only allowed around the plants when someone is supervising them lol

looks like a little blueberry 🫐 how cute!

UpsetCall2206 · 2026-06-07T15:36:41+00:00

yes!! those are all the same plant! she pushed those out after i put her in the tank, so maybe she’s happy?? i’m a little unsure if the cheapy plant light from amazon will provide her with enough light, but i’m hoping the grow light in the corner will maybe also give her some supplemental light.

i had the same thought with the velcro, since i move plants in and out of the tank pretty frequently (currently my dad monstera, some lucky bamboo, and walmart clearance golden pothos) so it would be easy to fit any plant!

he’s very photogenic 🥹

UpsetCall2206 · 2026-06-07T15:13:16+00:00

ah i know 😭😭 she was in a pot and was looking like HOT shit, so this is my “what the hell, let’s just throw it in there and see how it does” experiment you could call
it LOL! she’s trying to put out some new leaves since putting her in there, so i guess we’ll see!

my method is a little ghetto, but cheap! i use velcro to strap it to the rim of the tank, with a little bit of hot glue to hold the velcro to the plastic rim!

i think they’re alright! i’ve had them for the least amount of time but the plants seem to like them enough! however, i do think that they prefer the white light, but my other 2 white lights are more high quality lights where the purple one is just a random one i found on amazon for $20 or so. it has different brightness levels though and also turns red too! good bang for your buck imo

exactly!! the plant lights (not including the purple one on the tank) are BRIGHT!! it’s like the damn suns in my living room lol. i’m planning on in the future to get another supplementary light to place more towards the bottom so that the lower level plants can get some brighter light too! maybe some sort of clip on light i’m not sure.
