ProRep Live plant. Nolina recurvata Medium
General Information: Beaucarnea recurvata, also known as the ponytail palm, is a slow-growing plant that can reach heights of up to 20 feet. It is native to Mexico and is drought-tolerant, making it a low-maintenance plant for indoor spaces.
Pony Tail Palms can potentially grow into full grown trees but thier slow growth and tolerance of low light and drought makes them the ideal candidate for an arid terrarium. The need a well drained soil and should be watered as the soil starts to dry out. They store water in their swollen stems and so can tolerate drying out.
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.
