Description

Exo Terra Ficus Silk Plant Large

The Exo Terra Ficus Silk Plant Large is a realistic artificial hanging plant designed to add natural-looking foliage, cover and climbing opportunities to reptile and amphibian enclosures.

Modelled on the appearance of a Ficus plant, its dense foliage helps create visual barriers and sheltered areas while adding height and structure to the terrarium.

Unlike live plants, it can be positioned in areas where lighting, temperature or animal activity may make growing natural plants difficult.

Exo Terra Ficus Silk Plant Large Creates Natural Cover

Plants aren’t purely decorative in a well-designed terrarium. Dense foliage can provide valuable cover and visual barriers, allowing animals to retreat from view when they choose.

The Exo Terra Ficus helps create sheltered resting areas and can make an enclosure feel less exposed, particularly for species that naturally spend time amongst vegetation.

Adds Climbing & Exploring Space

The hanging design adds structure above floor level and makes better use of the enclosure’s three-dimensional space.

For appropriately sized species, the foliage and stems can provide additional surfaces to climb through and explore, helping create a more interesting and naturalistic environment.

The plant should always be positioned securely and appropriately for the size and weight of the animal using it.

Ideal Where Live Plants Struggle

Artificial plants are particularly useful in parts of an enclosure where live plants may struggle to thrive or where animals repeatedly damage or uproot natural vegetation.

They can also be combined with real plants to increase foliage and cover without requiring additional plant care.

Useful for Quarantine Setups

The Exo Terra Ficus can provide additional cover in quarantine and temporary enclosures where live planting may be impractical.

This allows you to create visual shelter while retaining a setup that can be dismantled and cleaned relatively easily.

Easy to Clean & Maintain

Unlike a live Ficus, there’s no watering, pruning or worrying about whether you’ve somehow managed to kill another supposedly indestructible houseplant.

When the plant becomes soiled, it can be removed and rinsed with water as required. Always allow it to dry appropriately before returning it to the enclosure.
