ProRep Live plant. Vriesea ‘mixed colours’ (Small)
Temperature: 65-80°F (18-27°C)
Light: Bright, indirect light Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Water: The leaves in the leaf whorl’s centre, where they form a natural bowl, absorb the majority of the water and nutrients these plants need. This central cup needs to be kept filled with water, which will happen naturally with spray systems.
Care/Maintenance: Mist the leaves regularly to maintain humidity levels, and flush out the central cup occasionally to prevent stagnation. Avoid using hard water or water with high mineral content to prevent build-up on the leaves.

General Information: These plants are known for their unique ability to collect water in their central cups. This can attract insects. It is important to keep an eye on the cups and clean them out if necessary to prevent any issues.
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. They are a selected range of species that are ideally suited to the terrarium. This includes 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.
