Safe plants

Good morning all!!

I am looking for some good recommendations for some plants I can plant for my redfoot tortoises to munch on.

I live in Florida and have a patio I can keep them on but there is not a ton of sun hitting it, just something to mention.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll start. Hibiscus! Plants and blossoms grow well there & torts love them. If you are looking for a vine type plant, pothos work & grow well too. @ZEROPILOT can provide a whole lot more info, thats his neck of the woods!

Not a lot of sunlight is actually a good thing for a Redfoot.
Plant some bushy plants. Spider Plants, Lyriopi, Elephant grass.
They love to hang out in the bushes.
The plants will be more for aesthetics and shade than for food.
Hibiscus is a must.
Get several of them.
My Redfoot eat like pigs, but generally leave the plants alone.
