by culturing cuc they mean keeping a colony of isopods and springtails or whatever cuc you use

#

so incase your leo eats everything you have reinforcements

#

as far as the plants im not sure what an inch queen is

#

the marble queen wouldnt be a good pick for a leo enclosure imo but some people do use pothos for leos

#

i know nothing about goldfish plant but the christmas cactus is a plant ive used in leo enclosures before

#

honestly id just repot them in new soil and "quarantine" them for a while unless you know what fertilizer is in your soil

Is "inch queen" Tradescantia? (It's also called inch plant). NQA Tradescantia is mildly toxic and can cause rashes as noted by Tortoise Table so that's just something to be aware of-- I think it's something in the sap that's irritating, so if your gecko climbs on it and breaks the stem it could cause irritation. Though I'm not sure if it only affects humans in that way (maybe it doesn't bother reptiles) but just so you're aware!

its a tropical plant

#

pothos is hardy though so it would probably still do alright NQA

Pothos can actually do fine in leo tanks (in mine and server member's experiences, there's a few in #enclosure-inspo if you'd like to see!), if they get droopy you just gotta be on top of watering them

#

do you know what fertilizer it is?

#

also how long have you had these plants

#

cause it is recommended to quarantine before planting them in the enclosure

For future reference you can ping @/Leo Qualified Advice not just individual members! You can water bioactive plants as you'd normally water a plant, just pour water into the dirt when it looks like they'd need a drink.
