ProRep Live plant. Purple Heart Tradescantia (Large)
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C)
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain out of the bottom of the pot. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be sure not to let the plant sit in standing water.
Care/Maintenance: Tradescantia plants benefit from regular pruning to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess. Additionally, occasional misting can help increase humidity levels, especially in drier indoor environments.

ProRep Live plant. Purple Heart Tradescantia (Large)
General Information: Known for their vibrant foliage and trailing growth habit, making them popular choices for hanging baskets or as ground cover in gardens. They are relatively low-maintenance plants that can thrive indoors or outdoors with proper care. They also make excellent air purifiers, removing toxins from the air and increasing humidity, especially in drier indoor environments.
This pretty creeper brings some colour to the terrarium. It needs bright light to maintain its colour and high humidity. The soil needs to be evenly damp and well drained so that the roots are not permanently wet.
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 ProRep Live plant. Purple Heart Tradescantia (Large). For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
