ProRep Live plant. Ficus elastica Small
General Information: Ficus elastica, the rubber plant, is a popular houseplant known for its large, glossy leaves. It is a great choice for beginners due to its easy care requirements and ability to thrive in various light conditions.
This plant will develop into a small tree given the right conditions. In the terrarium however it is used mainly in tall set ups for arboreal animals. It is especially useful for chameleons as the branches are nice and strong and so are suitable for them to climb on. Grow in good light, with moderate humidity and an evenly moist soil.
These plants are carefully chosen for terrariums, including unique and rare species, going beyond typical houseplants. We selected plants to suit different habitats and growth patterns, offering a variety of options. You can find succulents for arid environments, bromeliads, ground cover plants, epiphytes for jungle setups, and aquatic plants and mosses in stock.
These plants enhance your pet’s terrarium, creating a natural and attractive environment. See our bioactive set up kits.
Arrowhead vine is an aggressive climber, making it a great addition to the bioactive enclosure. Pink arrowhead vine is a stunning light pink species of this plant. It has striking pink, heart-shaped leaves, which are excellent for storing water for your pet reptile to drink from.
Pink arrowhead vine is more sensitive to light due to its lighter colouration. If it has too much light, the leaves can fade to a much lighter colour; if it does not have enough light, it tends to turn more green. You can use other plants in your terrarium to add shade as required.
