Description

Exo Terra Ficus Silk Plant Medium

The Exo Terra Ficus Silk Plant Medium is a realistic artificial hanging plant designed to add foliage, cover and extra structure to reptile and amphibian enclosures.

Its natural Ficus-style leaves help create a more densely planted appearance while providing visual barriers and sheltered areas for animals that naturally seek cover amongst vegetation.

The Medium size is particularly useful for adding foliage without overwhelming smaller terrariums or where only a particular section of a larger enclosure needs additional cover.

Exo Terra Ficus Silk Plant Medium Creates Natural Cover

Foliage can play an important role in making an enclosure feel secure, particularly for shy, arboreal or foliage-dwelling species.

The Exo Terra Ficus creates hiding opportunities and visual barriers, giving animals somewhere to retreat from view and helping create a less exposed environment.

Adds Vertical Structure

As a hanging plant, the Ficus helps make better use of the enclosure’s three-dimensional space.

Positioned amongst branches, cork or other décor, it can create additional areas for appropriately sized animals to climb through, explore and rest amongst the foliage.

Always ensure the plant is securely positioned and suitable for the size and weight of the animal using it.

Ideal Where Live Plants Struggle

Artificial plants are particularly useful in parts of a terrarium where live plants may struggle to grow, or with animals that regularly damage or uproot natural vegetation.

The Ficus can also be combined with live planting to increase foliage density without adding additional plant-care requirements.

Useful for Quarantine Setups

Because it can be easily removed and cleaned, the Exo Terra Ficus is also useful for providing cover in quarantine or temporary enclosures.

This allows you to give animals some visual shelter without introducing permanently planted décor that’s more difficult to remove and maintain.

Easy to Clean & Maintain

The artificial foliage requires no watering, pruning or specialist lighting.

When it becomes soiled, simply remove the plant and rinse it with water as required, allowing it to dry appropriately before returning it to the enclosure.
