    I plan to set up a vivarium, but have a few questions to ask...

    Plants that grow on the land area, do they need any base fertiliser..?? What about dosing of regular liquid fertiliser, is it necessary..?

    I've found it unecessary in past vivariums that I've kept(that's what actually got me into planted aquariums). All I did was mist down the enclosure, or changed the water. I guess you could mix up a bottle of liquid fert and water to spray in the enclosure if you wanted to.

    P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

    If you are keeping frogs in the tank, it is better not to mist with fertilizers. A beter way is to use the water from your fish tanks. Or use root monster (the cone ones to prevent your frog from accidentally swallowing) when laying the substrate.
