CTTC - Edible Landscaping For Tortoises Edible Landscaping for Tortoises, a Tortuga Gazette article on plants for your tortoise yard by Mary Cohen. http://www.tortoise.org/general/edibplan.html
Extractions: Tortuga Gazette 28(1): 6-7, January 1992 Edible Landscaping for Tortoises by Mary Cohen The successful keeping of tortoises involves offering a wide variety of foods to promote healthy appetites and provide essential nutrients. In their native environments they will browse freely among the many types of plants they encounter. This article will explore some of the readily available plant species which many tortoises consume with gusto. Landscaping with plants which provide food and shelter for tortoises is not difficult. Many suitable plants are very ornamental and are adaptable to a wide range of climates, and many can be grown in containers. Please bear in mind that this article is being written in Southern California with its' climate as the basis for descriptions of plant performance. Since the readership of the Tortuga Gazette is both national and international, local conditions will vary greatly. For instance, the Tropical Hibiscus will freeze and not recover in localities in which the temperature drops below 30° F (-1° C) for extended periods. In such localities, gardeners may treat the plant as an annual, setting out fresh plants each spring. In addition it is important to remember that plants destined for consumption by chelonians should be free of residues from pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. Very little information exists on the effects of these powerful chemicals on "cold blooded" animals; therefore, it is wise to be scrupulous in avoiding the exposure of your tortoises to these substances. Granular (pellet) fertilizers are also potentially dangerous and should not be used in areas in which tortoises live and/or graze. Snail bait is extremely toxic and should be rigorously avoided.

CTTC - Poisonous Plant List California Turtle and Tortoise Club s list of poisonous plants to avoid around turtles and tortoises. http://www.tortoise.org/general/poisonp.html
Extractions: California Turtle and Tortoise Club Poisonous Plant List Many common plants are toxic and keepers must make sure that their herbivorous chelonians are kept away from them. A simple step to take to minimize the risks to your turtles and tortoises is to learn the names of all the plants in your home and yard so that you can prevent any untoward contact with poisonous plants. If you are unable to identify specific plants your local nursery may be able to identify them for you. Be sure to note the correct spellings of both the common and the botanical names, and keep a list of the names for future use. If you do take plants to your nursery for identification be sure to take a sufficient sample that represents the plant as a whole. The following list is based on CTTC's poison plant list as published in the Tortuga Gazette 28(1): 8-10, January 1992 with periodic updates as more data becomes available. The list itself was based on the University of California Irvine, Regional Poison Center list of plants that are toxic or potentially toxic to humans. They recognize four levels of toxicity, indicated by a number following the plant name, and the four levels are explained at the end of the article. Note that the treatments recommended are for humans. Use your own best judgment in applying them to your pets. Initially, be sure to remove any remaining parts of the plant from the mouth. If any symptoms of abnormal behavior or signs of irritation in the mouth occur, seek prompt medical attention.

Plants In The Wet Tropics - General Information plants in the Wet Tropics general Information. The word rainforest is an umbrella More plants -. general Information Not all Forests are the Same http://www.wettropics.gov.au/pa/pa_plants_info.html
Extractions: the community Plants in the Wet Tropics - General Information The word 'rainforest' is an umbrella term for a great variety of forest types with different structures and collections of species. The forest type is dictated by environmental parameters such as altitude, soil composition, amount of rainfall and drainage. The Wet Tropics provides an unparalleled living record of the ecological and evolutionary processes that shaped the flora and fauna of Australia over the past 415 million years. Australia has been isolated from other land masses for millions of years and this has helped shape our distinct floral and faunal assemblages. Humid tropical regions throughout the world are relatively new and although they are rich in numbers of species, the level of endemism is surprisingly low. (Endemic species are those which are restricted to a certain area and occur nowhere else.) About 3,000 plant species from 210 families are found here, representing about 17% of Australia's vascular plants.

Royal Horticultural Society - Gardening Advice: Citrus Cultivation Repot in spring when plants become potbound. In years when not repotting topdress (again, in spring), removing the top 5cm (2in) of compost and replacing http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles0101/citrus_cultivation.asp
Extractions: Grow Citrus in a nutrient-rich compost such as John Innes No 2, adding 20% by volume horticultural grit. Repot in spring when plants become pot-bound. In years when not repotting topdress (again, in spring), removing the top 5cm (2in) of compost and replacing it with fresh. Water freely in summer, but don't allow the pot to stand in water. Water moderately in winter, allowing the surface to dry out partially between waterings. Mist leaves in early morning in summer, or stand on trays of moist Hortag to increase humidity. Specialist fertilisers should be available from garden centres selling citrus plants, and should be applied following the manufacturer's instructions. Use a high-nitrogen liquid feed plus trace elements from March-July. Then change to a balanced feed with trace elements until October. Don't feed during winter, or for five to six weeks after repotting. Although Citrus prefer a cool winter period, when little growth occurs, they are not hardy in the UK and should be overwintered indoors. Minimum winter night temperatures vary with species:
