ProRep Live plant: Short-Leaf Aloe Large

General Information: Aloe Vera plants are known for their healing properties. You can use them topically for minor burns and skin irritations. They also make great indoor plants as they help purify the air by removing toxins.

Aloes are great plants for arid terrariums. Their interesting leaf shapes and growth habits make them ideal for adding interest to a planting arrangement. The leaves have spines, so take care when using them with larger species of animals. Aloes need bright lighting and a well drained soil which prevents the roots rotting. Their leaves can store water and so they are tolerant of occasional drying. Avoid this if possible. Water as the soil dries out, but before they are completely dry. If the terrarium does not have a deep, bio-active substrate, you should keep them in their pot. You can disguise this with substrate and decor. This will allow the plants to be watered as necessary without making the whole substrate too damp.

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 Short-Leaf Aloe Large. For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
