ProRep Live plant. Digit Fern Medium

General Information: Doryopteris pedata is a tropical fern that thrives in humid environments. It is a low-maintenance plant that adds a touch of greenery to any indoor space. In the terrarium the digits make excellent water storage creating drinking spots for your pet.

If you want to grow this species then provide a moist, rich soil that does not dry out. These ferns dislike bright hot light and are easily scorched so they must be positioned carefully to look their best.

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 Digit Fern Medium. For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
