Mangrove A 42x27x58cm
CHF 169.00
Ceramic Mangrove A – decorative root for aquariums and terrariumsThe Ceramic Mangrove is a lifelike ceramic replica of a mangrove. It is easy to assemble and makes an attractive decoration for aquariums and terrariums. Its branched shape creates interesting structures, hiding places and natural accents in the tank.

Catappa Leaves XL - 10 pieces
CHF 6.90
Catappa Leaves XL – natural sea almond tree leaves for aquariums and terrariumsCatappa Leaves XL are large, dried leaves of the sea almond tree and are particularly popular in aquariums with tropical fish, shrimp and blackwater species. In water, the leaves release natural tannins and humic substances slowly, which may cause the aquarium water to take on a slightly yellowish to brownish tint.This natural colouring diffuses the light and mimics the habitat of many tropical fish species.
As the leaves slowly decompose, they create valuable grazing areas for shrimp, catfish and other aquarium inhabitants. At the same time, the large leaves provide natural cover and places of refuge. Catappa leaves can also be used decoratively in terrariums and serve as hiding places for small animals or as ground decoration.
Catappa leaves are a popular natural product for natural-looking aquariums, blackwater setups and biotope tanks. When stored dry, they have a very long shelf life and are easy to use.Advantages at a glanceLarge Catappa leaves with a length of 21–40 cmRelease natural tannins and humic substancesSupport a natural blackwater appearanceCan promote the well-being of fishProvide grazing areas for shrimp and catfishAlso suitable as decoration and hiding place in the terrarium100 % natural product

Banana leaves – 20 pieces – dried
CHF 4.90
Banana leaves – natural care and decoration for aquariumsBanana leaves are a natural and decorative addition to freshwater aquariums. They are particularly suitable for shrimp aquariums, blackwater setups and naturally themed tanks. Once in the water, the dried leaves slowly release tannins, helping to create a natural aquarium environment.
The leaves provide small fish, shrimp, snails and crabs with sheltered areas to hide in. As they gradually decompose, they create valuable grazing areas and a natural food source for shrimp and snails. Banana leaves are also popular in shrimp breeding, as they provide the animals with places to retreat to and additional surfaces for grazing.Banana leaves are an interesting alternative or addition to sea almond leaves and can be combined very well with other natural materials such as catappa bark, coconut shells, lotus pods or cholla wood.Advantages at a glanceNatural leaves for aquariums and shrimp tanksRelease tannins into the waterCan help to support a natural blackwater environmentProvide hiding places for small fish, shrimp, snails and crayfishUsed as grazing and feeding areas whilst decomposingNaturally dried and untreatedSafe for fish, shrimp, crayfish and snailsContents: 20 piecesUsageUse approximately 1 leaf per 5 litres of aquarium water. The leaves can be placed directly into the aquarium. They usually sink after 48–72 hours and remain effective for around 2–3 weeks. Afterwards, the remains can be removed or left in the aquarium as a natural food source for shrimp and snails.
Zoo Roco Tip:
Combine banana leaves with catappa leaves, coconut shells or moss-covered stones. This will create a natural arrangement with plenty of hiding places, foraging areas and a particularly harmonious look.
Buddha Cascade
CHF 54.90
REPTO Buddha CascadeWaterfall, drinking spot and more humidityThis decorative Buddha cascade brings movement to the terrarium and creates an atmospheric ambience. The flowing water serves as a drinking spot, stays fresh for longer and can increase the humidity in the terrarium.Product benefits:Decorative waterfall in Buddha design for terrariumsControl unit for three-stage regulation of the water flowWater reservoir with 700 ml for a stable water supplyDC pump including controllerRiser pipe for water transportVery easy cleaning thanks to the reservoir system
The REPTO Buddha Cascade is more than just a decorative element: it combines appearance, function and terrarium climate in a well-designed water feature.The gentle flow of water looks particularly harmonious in the terrarium and stylishly showcases your setup – ideal if you want to add a lively, natural detail to your reptile or amphibian habitat.
Besides its decorative effect, the cascade serves a clear practical purpose. Running water generally stays fresh for longer and is used by many terrarium animals more frequently as a drinking source than still water. The cascade can therefore serve as an additional drinking spot and support your animal in drinking regularly – especially in terrariums where animals prefer moving water.Another advantage: due to the continuous movement of water and evaporation, the humidity can be increased in the terrarium. This helps you to create a more stable microclimate – depending on the species and husbandry goal, an important contribution to well-being.For easy handling, the integrated reservoir with a capacity of 700 ml is provided. The system is designed for uncomplicated cleaning, so that water changes and maintenance do not become a time-consuming task. The DC pump operates with a controller that allows you to adjust the water flow in three stages. This lets you decide whether the water should trickle rather discreetly or flow visibly – suitable for species, terrarium size and desired humidity.The scope of delivery includes pump, control unit/controller and the riser pipe – so you can get started directly and the cascade is quickly ready for use.Zoo-Roco tip: Use the cleanest possible water and change it regularly for the reservoir – this keeps the drinking spot attractive and reduces deposits. Place the cascade so that animals can reach it easily, but no substrate is washed into the water (e.g. on a stable, level surface).

Lightly mist the back wall and plants and keep an eye on the hygrometer and any condensation. For many setups, it makes sense to spray in the morning so that the moisture can dry out properly during the day and no permanently wet spots develop.

Tillandsia fertiliser
CHF 7.90
Epiphyte's Essentials - Epiphyte's Delight fertilizer Epiphyte's Delight was developed with a clear goal in mind: healthy, rapid growth for epiphytes - plants that grow without soil. This powder for mixing contains a fertilizer with a carefully balanced nitrogen content that reliably nourishes and visibly supports your plants.The source of nitrogen is particularly important for tillandsias, orchids and other epiphytes: many fertilizers contain a high proportion of urea. The problem is that epiphytes cannot use urea effectively because it first has to be converted into usable forms of nitrogen by soil bacteria - bacteria that simply do not exist without a substrate. Epiphyte's Delight has therefore been formulated to contain mainly nitrate nitrogen. This is immediately available and can be directly absorbed and used by the plants - ideal for daily care and strong development.Your advantages at a glanceSpecially developed for epiphytes (e.g. tillandsias, orchids)Predominantly nitrate-nitrogen - directly available, fast-actingPromotes healthy, rapid growth thanks to a balanced nutrient supplyAlso suitable for other plants - for a quick growth spurtMix powder with water and spray on plantsInstructions for useThis fertilizer is not only suitable for epiphytes, but can also be used for many other plants if a rapid growth response is desired.

The product is supplied as a powder and is mixed with water to form a malleable mass. A typical mixture is 40 g powder to around 80 ml water, which creates a consistency that is easy to model.
The mixed mixture is suitable for preparing dry surfaces so that mosses adhere better later and can be integrated decoratively. MossBase is particularly exciting in combination with Shroomroom MossMix: as a base, it helps you to fix moss, fern or spore material specifically to the desired substrate in order to achieve lasting, convincing, nature-like looks.
Important for correct application: Shroomroom MossBase is a purely decorative design element. It is not a substrate for plant growth, a fertilizer or a growth promoter. You use the product exactly where it has its strengths: in detailed, near-natural terrarium and paludarium design.
Zoo Roco tip
Apply MossBase in thin layers and create soft transitions so that the surface looks natural later on. Preferably place moss areas in zones where your setup offers the right microclimate. For particularly realistic results, many terrarium builders work with a base of MossBase and then apply MossMix in precise areas instead of covering the entire surface.Customers searched for: MossBase, Shroomroom MossBase, moss back wall terrarium, moss surface modeling, paludarium moss wall, terrascaping moss, attach moss to terrarium, MossMix, moss-covered background

10 g pack for targeted applications and small to medium-sized projectsA harmonious terrarium or paludarium thrives on transitions, textures and details that look like nature. This is exactly what Shroomroom MossMix is designed for: a dry mixture of Asian mosses and fern spores with which you can decoratively create mossy structures and greenery effects.
The mix is particularly suitable for scene construction - for example for mossy areas on back walls, branches, roots, cork or stones. Used correctly, MossMix brings more depth and naturalness to the layout and creates an authentic look without overloading the terrarium. For controlled work and better adhesion, we recommend using it on a suitable base, for example with Shroomroom MossBase, to fix the material to the desired substrate.Zoo Roco tip
For particularly natural results, work in zones: Use MossMix specifically where your hardscape offers suitable conditions. First model the substrate (e.g. with TropicalClay and MossBase) and then apply MossMix selectively instead of scattering it over a large area. This makes mossy transitions look more realistic and the overall look remains harmonious.

Dionaea muscipula red-green carnivorous plant
CHF 9.90
Aqua Art VivoVerde Dionaea muscipula "Red Green" - red-green Venus flytrapThe "Red Green" Venus flytrap impresses with its red-colored trap surfaces and the typical snap shut mechanism. It needs a lot of light and a permanently moist, suitable carnivore substrate to produce vibrant colors.Product characteristics:Origin: Dionaea muscipula originates from the coastal regions of the south-eastern USA, particularly North Carolina and South Carolina.Traps with bordeaux red colorationThe Venus flytrap grows as a flat rosette and, depending on the conditions, reaches a diameter of around 20 cm. The traps of this variety are up to approx. 3 cm long (in good light).High light requirement: full sun or plant light, approx. 10-14 hours/day Humidity: A permanently moist substrate is particularly important. A slightly higher humidity is advantageous, but not a must

be avoided if possible.Temperature requirements: The plant feels comfortable at around 20-30 °C during the growing season. The species is generally seasonal and can also tolerate cooler temperatures during a dormant phase.Eye-catching due to clear red coloration with sufficient lightExciting observation plant for the home or terrarium thanks to the movable trapsWell suited for controlled keeping in a micro terrariumSupplied in an in vitro cupThe Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is one of the most fascinating carnivores of all - and the "Red Green" variant sets a particularly attractive accent: its traps are burgundy-red in color (under optimal conditions) and reach a size of up to around 3 cm. This makes the plant a lively eye-catcher on the windowsill, on the plant shelf or in a suitable terrarium.For the red coloration to really develop, light is the most important factor. The manufacturer recommends full sunlight or equivalent plant lighting and a lighting duration of around 10 to 14 hours per day. If you offer your Dionaea this bright location, it will usually reward you with vital traps and more intensive coloration.The right substrate and a constantly moist environment are just as important. The plant thrives best in a suitable carnivorous substrate (Aqua Art recommends the right substrate from its own range) and in a permanently moist environment. TropicalRain" is ideal for watering and feeding; at the same time, additional feeding with insects is not recommended. This makes care pleasantly uncomplicated for many keepers: they can concentrate on light, moisture and the right medium - and the plant can focus on growth and trap formation.Zoo Roco tip:Place the Venus flytrap as brightly lit as possible and keep the substrate consistently moist - these are the two adjusting screws that are most decisive for vitality and coloration. Important in everyday life: Do not trigger traps "for fun" (this costs energy). If you keep them under plant light, 10-14 hours of lighting per day is a very good guideline.Customers also searched for: Carnivores, carnivorous plant, Dionaea muscipula, Venus flytrap red, micro terrarium, terrarium plants, carnivore substrate, plant light, Drosera, Nepenthes

Botanical name: Dionaea muscipula "Ring"Trap length: up to approx. 3 cm Temperature (growth range): approx. 20-30 °C Humidity/substrate: permanently moist substrate recommendedOrigin (species): East coast USA, especially North & South CarolinaWith the Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula "Ring", you can bring one of the best-known carnivorous plants into your home - as a cleanly cultivated in vitro plant from Aqua Art. The variety is characterized by red-coloured trap surfaces; the traps can reach up to around 3 cm under good conditions. Especially in combination with plenty of light, the plant is particularly decorative and becomes an exciting eye-catcher - whether in a bright living room, on a plant shelf or in a matching micro terrarium.Two things are particularly important for healthy growth: light and constant humidity. Aqua Art recommends full sunlight or equivalent plant lighting of around 10 to 14 hours per day. This keeps the plant vital and allows it to develop its coloration better. The substrate should not be allowed to dry out. The plant grows best in a suitable carnivorous substrate.Humidity: A permanently humid environment in the substrate is more important than "tropical air". Many keepers manage without a closed terrarium - however, in very dry heating air, the Venus flytrap often benefits from slightly increased humidity (e.g. in an open container or a well-ventilated terrarium).Temperature: A growth range of approx. 20-30 °C is recommended. The Venus flytrap goes into hibernation and can also be kept outdoors.Note on "nutrition": We recommend spraying with "TropicalRain" and advise against additional feeding with insects. This makes everyday care pleasantly uncomplicated: you concentrate on light, humidity and a suitable location.Zoo Roco tip:Gently repot InVitro plants first after opening the cup: wash out the gel, place in suitable carnivore substrate and place in very bright light for the first 1-2 weeks, but not immediately in full midday sun. And very important: do not deliberately trigger traps - this costs the plant energy that it would rather put into growth.Customers also searched for

Drosera capensis - carnivorous plant
CHF 9.90
Aqua Art Drosera capensis - Sundew for terrarium & WabiKusaDrosera capensis (Cape Sundew) fascinates with long catch leaves that form glittering sticky drops to catch small insects. As an in vitro plant, it starts clean and compact - ideal for bright, humid setups such as paludariums, carnivorous terrariums or Wabi-Kusa.Product features:Cultivated in vitro (sterile in a pot)Carnivorous plant with sticky trapping leaves (sundew principle)Suitable for humid terrariums/paludariums and very bright locationsRobust and also suitable for beginnersImportant advantages:Exciting observation effect: trapping leaves shine and react to preySupports a near-natural microclimate in humid terrarium setupsNo fertilization necessary - the plant covers its needs by catching small insectsInformation:Origin (species): Cape region / South Africa; grows in nutrient-poor, permanently moist habitats (e.g. swamps, banks, streams)Size/growing height: approx. 5-20 cm (depending on conditions)Temperature requirements: approx. 10-35 °C; as frost-free as possible in winter (guideline: not below approx. 5 °C)Air humidity: at least approx. 50 % recommendedLight: bright to sunny (for strong coloration and good catching drops)Water/substrate: soft/low-lime (e.g. rainwater/osmosis water), acidic, nutrient-poor substrate; permanently moist to wet Drosera capensis, the Cape sundew, is a real classic among carnivorous plants - and for good reason: the long, narrow catch leaves are covered with many fine tentacles that form glistening adhesive droplets. These droplets attract small insects and hold on to them so that the plant can supplement its low nutrient requirements. At the same time, Drosera capensis is comparatively uncomplicated to care for and is therefore also attractive for beginners . The species originates from the Cape region of South Africa, where it grows in permanently moist, nutrient-poor areas such as swamps, on banks and along watercourses. You can easily replicate this principle at home: The decisive factors are plenty of light and a constantly moist to wet, acidic and nutrient-poor substrate. Soft, low-lime water (e.g. rainwater or osmosis water) is recommended for watering. Fertilizing is not necessary.In suitable conditions, Drosera capensis typically grows to a height of around 5 to 20 cm. It does particularly well in bright, humid terrariums, paludariums or similar humid setups where the catching droplets are formed stably. A humidity level of around 50 % is a good guideline, although the plant is particularly reliable in a constantly humid environment.Drosera capensis is pleasantly tolerant when it comes to temperature requirements: a range of approx. 10-35 °C is suitable for cultivation. In the cooler months of the year, it should be kept frost-free; as a guide, temperatures should not fall below approx. 5 °C in winter. This will keep the plant vital and allow it to sprout vigorously again in spring.Zoo Roco tip:For in vitro plants, it is worth acclimatizing them gently: rinse the gel carefully, place them in a carnivorous substrate and keep them in a very bright place for the first 7-14 days, but only gradually give them extreme midday sun. If the catching drops decrease, this is usually an indication of too little light or too dry air - first increase the light intensity and ensure that the substrate is constantly moist.
Drosera capensis albino - carnivorous plant
CHF 9.90
Aqua Art Drosera capensis 'Albino' - bright cape sundew as an in vitro plantDrosera capensis 'Albino' has a particularly bright appearance: instead of red tentacles, it has predominantly green catch leaves with clear, sticky drops and forms white flowers. As an in vitro plant, you can start it cleanly in a cup - ideal for very bright, moist biotopes in terrariums or plant shelves. Characteristics and requirements:Albino form: hardly/no red pigments, light-colored tentacles and sticky traps with glittering catching drops (sundew principle)Origin: South Africa, Cape region (Cape of Good Hope area)Size: depending on conditions, usually approx. 5-20 cm in heightLight: full sun or strong plant light 10-14 hrs/dayHumidity:optimal approx. 65-75 %Temperature: ideal approx. 22-32 °CStriking color contrast to red carnivoresSupports the natural reduction of small flying insects (e.g. fungus gnats/small mosquito species) with trapping leavesEasy to care for: focus on light + constant humidity, no fertilization necessaryNo dormant period necessaryDrosera capensis 'Albino' is the Cape sundew for anyone who loves carnivores but is looking for a particularly bright, elegant look. In contrast to many classic Cape sundew forms, 'Albino' shows hardly any red pigments: The plant appears predominantly green, the catching droplets shine clearly and the flowers appear white. This provides a nice contrast in terrariums, paludariums or on bright windowsills - especially next to reddish species or colored hardscape elements. The catching technique is typical of sundews: sticky drops sit on the tentacles to which small insects adhere. This is not only exciting to watch, but also fits perfectly into nutrient-poor biotopes because Drosera supplements its low nutrient requirements with prey. Fertilizing is not necessary - on the contrary, too many nutrients are usually the quickest route to problems for carnivores.Three points are crucial for successful cultivation: plenty of light, constant humidity and suitable substrate/water. Aqua Art recommends full sun or an equally strong plant light with around 10 to 14 hours of illumination per day. This keeps the plant vital and reliably forms catching droplets. The following applies to the climate: A humidity of approx. 65-75 % is ideal and the plant prefers to grow at 22-32 °C. This makes it particularly suitable for well-lit, humid terrariums or warm indoor rooms with stable conditions.Quality counts when watering: use water that is as low in salt and minerals as possible (e.g. rain or distilled water) and keep the substrate permanently moist. As an in vitro plant, you get a clean start in a practical cup - this is ideal if you value controlled conditions and want to keep your terrarium as free of "roommates" as possible.Zoo Roco tip:If your Drosera hardly shows any "dew", it is usually due to insufficient light or air that is too dry. First increase the light intensity (not just the hours) and ensure that the substrate is constantly moist. After opening the in-vitro cup: carefully rinse the gel, place in carnivorous substrate and gradually acclimatize to full sun or strong light for 1-2 weeks.
Nepenthes ampullaria red - carnivorous plant
CHF 15.90
Aqua Art Nepenthes ampullaria 'Red'Compact, red ground pots for the humid terrariumNepenthes ampullaria 'Red' forms a particularly large number of amphora-shaped ground pots in attractive shades of red, giving it the appearance of a dense "carpet of pots". It is ideal for warm, very humid terrariums and paludariums with bright, indirect light.Characteristics and requirements:Origin (species): Southeast Asia; natural distribution from Thailand to western Malaysia and Maluku to New Guinea, among othersHabitat: humid lowland habitats, including (swamp) forestsTemperature: warm; often approx. 21-24 °C in the terrariumLight: bright to very bright, preferably indirect/diffuse (no prolonged blazing sun)Water: As low in minerals as possible (rain/osmosis water)Lowland Nepenthes with numerous potsPots typically urn/amphora-shaped, approx. 2-10 cm long in natureRequires high humidity (70-90%)Warm climate: as a lowland species, rather constantly warmVery decorative in humid setups because many pitchers are visible at the same timeExciting plant to observe: pitcher formation and coloration clearly react to light and climateNo fertilization necessary; nutrient-poor substrate is expressly desiredNepenthes ampullaria 'Red' is a tropical pitcher plant that looks particularly impressive in humid lowland biotopes. Instead of only forming individual pitchers on long tendrils, this species develops many pitchers in the lower area - often in dense groups directly at the base of the plant. It is precisely this "pitcher carpet" effect that makes it so popular in terrariums, paludariums or warm, humid plant showcases.In the wild, Nepenthes ampullaria is widespread in Southeast Asia and grows predominantly in humid, tropical lowland habitats, including swamp and rainforest areas. Accordingly, it appreciates conditions that are constantly warm and very humid. High humidity (often in the range of around 70-90% or more) and temperatures in the warm lowland spectrum of around 22-26°C are considered a good orientation.For Nepenthes, "lowland spectrum" simply means the climate profile of lowland species - i.e. conditions similar to those in tropical lowland and swamp areas. "Spectrum" does not mean a hard fixed value, but a range of temperatures/humidity in which these plants grow reliably and form pitchers.The plants like bright light, but not burning midday sun. Many cultivation instructions recommend very bright, but diffuse or indirect light over longer periods of time (e.g. under plant light or in a well-shaded greenhouse) so that leaves and pitchers remain healthy and the plant reliably "pitches" (produces pitchers)Water quality is particularly important for everyday care: if possible, use water that is low in minerals (rain or osmosis water). The substrate should be airy, acidic and low in nutrients - typical Nepenthes mixtures are often based on sphagnum and structural components so that the roots remain moist but do not suffocate.Zoo Roco tip:If Nepenthes ampullaria 'Red' makes few pitchers at first, this is usually a sign of too low humidity or too little light. First increase the humidity (e.g. in the terrarium/with good ventilation) and provide bright, indirect light. Water consistently with rain/osmosis water - depending on the region, tap water is often too rich in minerals for carnivores.
