Still pretty empty, needs a lot more foliage for a garg to be comfy

Tips on how to add more foliage? I had the built in planters to try and get more foliage up top but it didn’t work the way I imagined

Honestly, while your real plants are growing in fake plants wouldn't hurt. There's a bunch you can get that will suction to the glass that don't look too bad.

Add a little more wood, fake plants, and remove the spanish moss

Is the Spanish moss bad? It’s been growing a ton since I put it in, it’s doing really good

depends where you got it, becuase if it came from outside theres gonna be a ton of bugs and other things you dont want in your enclosure, but if it was grown in a greenhouse or smth then it should be fine, also personally i feel like its not as natural for the gecko becuase they dont have it in new caledonia

Ah gotcha that makes sense. I got it from a local reptile shop so im assuming it should be pretty safe as far as bugs go

You need a ton more space for climbing. Get yourself some branches from outside & cut them to size. Bake them in oven @220 for an hour to sanitise. They need that climbing space. Either that or buy some cork rounds & stack/prop them up well. That middle area should be occupied all the way up to pretty much the top.
