ProRep Live plant. Lithops (Large)
General Information: Lithops are a unique type of succulent that resemble small stones or pebbles. They are a popular choice for plant collectors. They are native to southern Africa and are able to store water in their leaves. This allows them to survive in arid conditions.
The ultimate dry terrarium plant. You need to grow living stones under bright light where they will slowly spread by developing offshoots. This species dislikes disturbance. They are best suited for use with smaller, non destructive animals which may did them up. Their soil needs to be free draining as they dislike constantly wet roots and are very tolerant of drought.
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.
