Natural Looking Artificial Plant
The star cactus from Exo Terra is a fantastic option for creating a natural looking desert habitat for your pet without the disadvantages associated with using live plants.
Whilst this plant may be made of plastic, it looks just like its living counterpart. However, it requires minimal maintenance in terms of watering, feeding, pruning etc and will happily tolerate the high temperatures of your vivarium. Perfect if you aren't blessed with green fingers! Furthermore, livefood is not going to start devouring the plant - something that can be an issue if you're using real vegetation in an enclosure.
Why Use Plants In Your Setup
As well as looking great, artificial plants in an enclosure can provide a number of benefits for your pet. The spreading leaves provide shade and spots where your animal can hide and cool down, reducing stress and aiding natural thermoregulation. It can also provide behavioural enrichment by allowing climbing behaviours and natural hunting of livefood hiding within the folds of the plant.
To make this plant even easier to use it comes with a weighted base to ensure stability and help prevent your pet from accidently knocking it over.
Easy Clean Décor
To keep your tank clean and healthy these plants can be removed and wiped clean with a soft damp cloth and some pet-safe disinfectant.
