ProRep Live Plant. Staghorn Fern Large
General Information: Platycerium bifurcatum, also known as the Staghorn Fern, is an epiphytic plant that can be mounted on a wooden board or grown in a hanging basket. It is native to Australia and thrives in humid environments.
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 Staghorn Fern Large . For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
