ProRep Live Food Plant. Turtle Vine (Small)

Callisia repens is suitable for reptiles, birds and mammals. We recommend customers cut pieces of the plant off to feed to their pet, rather than putting the whole plant into the tank and possibly causing stomach upsets if the whole plant is gorged!

This will prolong the life of the plant too.

This is a tropical creeper found in moist areas. It does not like bright, hot light but thrives in warm, moist, shaded conditions which makes it ideal for the planted terrarium. Additionally this plant is edible and ideal for feeding to Tortoises, Bearded dragons, Uromastyx and other omnivorous or herbivorous reptiles. The whole pot can be placed in the enclosure, or it can be grown on the windowsill and stems cut off for feeding. Birds and Mammals also love it.

These plants are not just small houseplants. They are a selected range of species that are ideally suited to the terrarium. This includes some of the more unusual or rare types. We have carefully selected the range so that there are plants to suit all habitats and growth patterns. There are succulents for arid environments, bromeliads, ground cover plants and epiphytes for jungle set up’s as well as aquatic plants and mosses.

These plants enhance your pet’s terrarium, creating a natural and attractive environment. See our bioactive set up kits.

Over 40 different plant species are available in the range including Turtle Vine (Small). For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
