Plants for outdoor cages.

[Nicolas]

Hi,

As I already told some of you, it is very difficult to get leptospermum or other New Zealand plants in Switzerland.

Here in south part of Switzerland it is now time to keep the New Zealand geckos outside.

What kind of non New Zealand plants do you use for your outdoor cages ?

Altitude 800 metres, Temp. about 22-28 day and 13-17 night.

:wink:

Hi Nicolas,
if you want to try something not NZ-native, try Myrtle species.
I made very good experiences with those also during the indoor winterperiod.

Hi Michael, any chance of a photo of your juvenile Naultinus please?

Hi Justin,
I think you know where you can find some pics of my animals ;-)

Thank's a lot for the tip Michael.

No worries!
Have fun with them, I am sure your Naultinus will like them and take care not giving the plants too much water, they don´t like it,

[Nicolas]

Yes I'm coming from the "french part" of Switzerland : Valais.
A perfect place for keeping Naultinus and Hoplodactylus outside !!!

 

[the moof]

Yes! Urgh, i wish the climate was as nice up here as it is down there :evil: ah well...
so you dont speak german?

regards,
*the moof*

Do you think that Buxus sempervirens could be a good possibility or could it be dangerous for the gecko according to a potential toxicity ?

Hello Nicolas,

Buxus species are a perfect alternative to New Zealand outdoor plants.
They are very comon and hardy. Your Naultinus will like them.

Cheers

How about Podocarpus plants with Naultinus?

german is an awesome language.not to read as it is like reading a english book backwards i`m canadian so i am not exposed to much german or russian.although there are a few people i know that can speak fluent.it sounds amazing especially the speed you talk at.I actually plan on taking a trip first to moscow,leningrad,russia and than to berlin this year.we will see how things play out.

Miracle !!! Some Manukas have found the way to Switzerland !!!

It is really a pleasure to see the "green jewells" climbing and exploring those plants.

Thanks again for all your tips.
