ProRep Live Plant: Weeping Fig *BUNDLE of 5* (Large)
General Information: Weeping figs are popular houseplants known for their elegant, drooping leaves. They are relatively low-maintenance and can thrive in a variety of indoor environments, making them perfect for the terrarium
This plant will develop into a small tree given the right conditions. In the terrarium however it is used mainly in tall set ups for arboreal animals. It is especially useful for chameleons as the branches are nice and strong and so are suitable for them to climb on. Grow in good light, with moderate humidity and an evenly moist soil. low humidity and drought conditions will cause the leaves to drop and although they will grow back it makes the plant unattractive.
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.
