I don't know Ryan, but I didn't want you thinking you were being ignored. Hope someone knows! Lol thanks marianne . Doesn't matter now ,i was planning on trying a non hardy fuchsia indoors, but changed my mind and got a rubber plant instead ;D. As someone once told me "my mind changes like the weather" lol . It would be nice to know though if it is safe. |

Your Question got me thinking too Ryan...so i did some searching and found this...
My plants serve a range of purposes, firstly to provide cover, second to attract insect live, third to provide food and trace elements.
Structural plants make the aviary attractive; provide perching positions and the opportunity for spectacular photographs.
They also help to compliment the garden, blending in with the surroundings and act as focal points for visitors who may look at the aviary and see a jungle.
These are some of the plant I have used without losses or adverse effects, most serve a particular purpose some are multi-beneficial.
