Default Need some help finding...

Cheap artificial plants.. as im on easter hols I thought I might as well brighten up the vivariums, all are looking bare without much shrubbary and I dont want to do real plants..

Any suggestions of where I can find cheap plants? the artificial ones online I have found so far are all expensive :/ being a student its not exactly viable..

Right now I have a python, a leos, a pictus and a cwd viv to jazz up.. Gonna have a hunt for more hides and stuff around the house to put in but I want plants so they can hide in them!


All help will be appreciated via the livestock!!!

i just got a load for my viv free (ish) kinda .
i went to a local garden centre & bought an artificial tree which i had every intention of keeping .
but it didnt look right , so i was about to return it when i noticed it had shed a leafy twig .
it was basically a few twisted sticks with artificial greenery (pretty much same as viv decor ) stuck & stapled to them till it looked like a tree .
so i "accidently" pulled a few more off , then returned it anyway .
voila a decorated viv

Was wondering about garden centers, but I havent learnt to drive yet (no money left!) so would have to rely on my dad taking me and hes always busy :/

I was being completely sincere actually, the thought of using them never crossed my mind!
Will definately be used now though

Thanks Skimpy, will have a look into it!

I can see why, im not always the best at wording things, and interpreting text isnt the easiest of things at time!
Definately gonna look into the plant pots though, its a really good idea!
