Everything you need to know about artificial plants in the terrarium shop


Artificial plants are the smart solution if you want to add permanent greenery to your terrarium, aquarium or living space – without any watering, pest problems or worries about whether real plants can withstand the conditions. Artificial plants are an easy-care and visually appealing alternative, especially in humid terrariums, in bright light or in areas where living plants quickly die. They create structure, provide cover and support a natural-looking overall appearance – ideal for making animals feel safer and creating harmonious habitats.

  • Ready to use immediately: unpack, place, done
  • Consistently beautiful appearance: lush green all year round

Suitable for terrariums, aquariums and living areas Artificial plants are versatile – the key is to ensure that the material and workmanship are suitable for the intended use.


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
