Artificial plants for terrariums
For reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates, artificial plants provide cover, climbing and structural surfaces, and a clear division of territory. Particularly practical: you can clean the plants regularly without damaging them.
How to find the right artificial plant
To ensure that the design looks natural, the shape, size and placement are important.
Size and impact
- Small & bushy: for foreground, hiding places and accents
- Tall & slender: as a privacy screen and background structure
- Hanging: perfect for height, back walls and a "jungle look"
Material and safety
For animals, the following applies: no sharp edges, no small parts that can easily come loose and, ideally, odourless materials. Before use, it is advisable to rinse the plants briefly with clean water.
Styling tips for a natural look
- With just a few simple steps, artificial plants can look particularly authentic: Combine different plant species (vary leaf shapes and shades of green)
- Add natural decorations (roots, pieces of bark, stones)
- Designing in layers (foreground, middle ground, background)
- Set specific highlights instead of placing everything too close together
