ProRep Live Live plant. Rhipsalis mix Large
General Information: Rhipsalis mix is a type of tropical cactus that thrives in humid environments. It is also known for its unique trailing or hanging growth habit. It is a popular choice for hanging baskets or as a decorative accent in your pet’s terrarium.
The Mistletoe Cactus needs a well drained soil and if this is constantly and evenly damp, without being too wet then it will thrive. It dislikes bright light and is best grown in a lightly shaded position. Perfect for placing high on backgrounds and branches where it can hang down.
Apart from the aesthetic appeal of a planted terrarium there are some very real, tangible benefits for the animals. Living plants provide natural cover and climbing perches, shade, basking sites and maintain natural humidity. Just as live plants in an office can improve workers well-being, live plants in a terrarium will have the same effect for animals.
These plants are not just small houseplants but are a selected range of species that are ideally suited to the terrarium, including 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 Rhipsalis mix Large . For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
