pink polka dot plants (hypoestes)

[xboxQueen]

Has anyone used these pretty little plants in their viv? I've read they make great terrarium plants but I'm wondering if there's any pros/cons? Josh's frogs or black jungle doesn't sell them, so it made me wonder if they are ok to use. If they are ok to use, is there any place that sells them already frog safe (no pesticides or ferts)?

Thanks

So I have 2 that are cycling right now to go into a build that I am doing. I got mine from a local plant nursery, they actually have a terrarium section so they are small non-fertilized plants. But I am still leary so I have washed them and I cycling them in some coco fiber. They will go in the enclosure in about a week, I hope they take cause they will add some nice color.

Those are beautiful. I tried looking them up and they seem like an excellent viv plant. Non toxic, humidity loving, and requires pruning to maintain in the 10 " range. Just make sure you plant it in a spot where it gets tons of light and the colors become super vivid. I think I may use one of these in my next build. Thank you.
