Tropica Terra-2-Grow Thyme Moss – Plagiomnium mossTropica Terra-2-Grow Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ – light green terrarium moss with wavy leaves. Ideal for humid terrariums, paludariums and moss landscapes.Tropica ’s Terra-2-Grow Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ is a particularly attractive moss for tropical terrariums, paludariums and naturalistic plant arrangements. With its comparatively large, light-green leaves and slightly translucent leaf structure, it stands out clearly from many other terrarium mosses.The delicate leaves have finely wavy edges and give the moss a soft, lively appearance. Thanks to its low, carpet-like growth habit, dense, natural-looking moss cushions develop over time, reminiscent of the floor of a damp forest.Thyme Moss looks particularly decorative amongst natural stones, on damp roots or as a green ground cover in a terrarium. It can be used to add greenery to small landscapes, to create transitions between different materials or to give individual areas a lush, woodland atmosphere.This moss resembles the North American species Plagiomnium cuspidatum. Its larger leaves provide a lovely contrast to finely structured mosses, ferns and compact tropical plants. This makes it particularly suitable for varied miniature landscapes and detailed terrarium designs.Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ prefers high humidity and a shady to moderately bright location. Under suitable conditions, it grows at a moderate rate and develops flat, fresh-green moss carpets.With a growth height of approximately 2–5 cm or more, this moss is suitable for both small terrariums and larger planted landscapes. It can thrive particularly well in enclosed or semi-enclosed terrariums, provided there is sufficient moisture.Tropica ’s Terra-2-Grow plants are propagated under controlled laboratory conditions and supplied in sealed culture cups. This allows the plants to be neatly portioned and strategically incorporated into your terrarium design.Important: Thyme Moss is a terrarium moss and not a traditional aquatic plant. It is suitable for damp terrestrial areas but should not be kept completely submerged at all times.With its unusual leaf structure and natural growth habit, Tropica Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ is a wonderful addition for anyone wishing to enhance their terrarium or paludarium with a special type of moss.Your benefits at a glanceTerra-2-Grow growing pots with Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’Fresh green, slightly translucent moss leavesDecorative leaf structure with wavy edgesLow, carpet-like growthIdeal for tropical terrariums and paludariumsSuitable for covering damp roots and stonesLow light requirements and moderate growth rateLaboratory-propagated culture for easy portioningInstructions for usePreparationOpen the Terra-2-Grow growing pot and carefully remove the moss. Remove any remaining growing medium by gently rinsing it with clean water.Then divide the moss into several small portions. This will allow you to distribute it evenly across different areas of the terrarium.PlantingPlace the moss portions on a damp, suitable terrarium substrate or on naturally damp stones and roots.Gently press the moss down so that it makes good contact with the substrate. On vertical or sloping surfaces, it can be secured with a suitable thread or another plant-friendly fastening if necessary.LightThyme Moss prefers a location with low to moderate light levels. Avoid direct, strong sunlight, as this can cause the moss to dry out or become damaged.HumidityA high and, as far as possible, consistent level of humidity is important for healthy growth. Closed or semi-closed terrariums often provide suitable conditions.WateringKeep the moss and its substrate evenly moist. Where possible, use soft, low-calcium water.Avoid both complete drying out and persistent waterlogging. Good air circulation helps to prevent mould growth.CareCarefully remove any dead plant parts as and when necessary. Once larger moss clumps have formed, these can be divided and planted elsewhere.Important notePlagiomnium sp. 'Thyme Moss' is intended for emersed cultivation. The moss should not be permanently submerged.Zoo Roco TipThyme Moss is particularly well-suited to creating natural-looking woodland landscapes in terrariums. With its comparatively large, fresh-green leaves, it creates a lovely sense of depth, reminiscent of small forest floors.Combine the moss with delicate ferns, selaginella and compact tropical plants. Its distinctive leaf structure also looks particularly attractive on weathered roots or amongst natural stones.When planting the moss, divide it into several small portions rather than using one large, continuous clump. This allows the individual clumps to develop more evenly and gradually grow together to form a natural moss surface.Take particular care to ensure sufficient moisture, especially during the first few weeks. Freshly planted moss is sensitive to drying out and needs time to adapt to the new site conditions.

Repto Show Box: Transport safely and present with minimal stressThe Repto Show Box is ideal for temporary housing during transport or for displaying reptiles, amphibians and insects. Five dark sides give the animals a greater sense of security and reduce stress, while the transparent lid enables quick checks.Product benefits:Reduces stress during relocation, transport or at exhibitions/fairsA sense of security thanks to darkened sides – animals remain calmerQuick checks without unnecessary opening thanks to the transparent lidUser-friendly design: the lid is easy to openFor a tidy reptile room: multiple boxes can be securely stackedTechnical dataDimensions: 35 × 24 × 11 cmLid: split (1/3 + 2/3), easy to openDesign: 5 black sides, transparent lidUse: Transport / Presentation / Short-term accommodationWhen animals are being moved, temporarily housed or displayed, one thing matters above all else: as little stress as possible. This is exactly what the Repto Show Box is designed for. It is ideal for transporting and displaying reptiles, amphibians or insects – for example, during inspections, routine handling or at terrarium fairs where safe and clearly organised accommodation is required.A key feature is the five dark sides. They reduce visual stimuli, create a sheltered environment, and make many animals feel significantly safer than in fully transparent boxes. This can help animals to remain calmer and be easier to handle. At the same time, the dark background provides a clear contrast, making observation and presentation more pleasant – without permanently ‘putting the animals on display’.The transparent lid provides a practical alternative: you can quickly check the contents without having to open the box every time. This is particularly helpful when you’re on the move or want to keep an eye on several boxes. The lid is easy to open and is divided into 1/3 and 2/3 sections. This allows you to open just one section if needed – handy for a quick check without causing unnecessary disturbance.The box also scores highly in terms of organisation: it is designed for easy stacking. This allows you to house several animals or different species in a clear and orderly manner and store them in a space-saving way – ideal for breeders, foster homes or terrarium enthusiasts with multiple projects. Important: The ‘ Repto ’ Show Box is intended for temporary housing. For long-term care, you should always use a species-appropriate terrarium with suitable climate control and interior fittings.Zoo Roco tip: To minimise stress, place a piece of kitchen roll or a non-slip mat inside (depending on the species) – this provides grip and makes cleaning easier. During transport, keep the box in a calm, vibration-free environment and out of direct sunlight. For longer journeys: keep an eye on the temperature in the car and avoid draughts.
