ProRep Live plant. Nepenthes sp (Large hanging pot)
General Information: You may know Nepenthes plants because of their unique pitcher-shaped traps. Traps lure and digest insects for nutrients. These plants can be a fascinating addition to any indoor garden or terrarium. Additionally, Nepenthes plants are carnivorous and require occasional feeding of insects to supplement their nutrient intake.
Monkey Cups grow as vigorous climbers. They need a free draining, but constantly damp, slightly acidic soil together with bright light and high humidity. Given the right conditions they will grow long scrambling stems with each leaf having a dangling trap on the end. They are ideal to use in terrariums, providing your pets are not to small to get trapped and become dinner for the plant!
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 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.
