ProRep Live Plant: Cape Sundew Large

The Alice Sundew is a carnivorous plant that grows in bog conditions where they trap insects using their sticky leaves. They need to be constantly damp and if grown in a pot then they need to stand in a dish of about 1cm of water all the time.

They must have very bright light and do well on a sunny windowsill. Sundews will not tolerate hard water and should be watered with rain water or soft water. Their use in the terrarium is limited as they need to be damp all the time. In a palludarium they are ideal growing near the water, providing the light is bright enough.

They will catch small livefood though and could potentially trap very small reptiles or amphibians.

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 Philodendron El Choco Red Large. For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
