Reptile Plants
Reptile plants add more than greenery to a terrarium. They offer cover, support climbing, and help mimic the look and feel of your pet's natural habitat. Whether you're using artificial plants or growing real ones, they can reduce stress and encourage exploration. Popular reptile plants to add to your terrarium:
- Artificial plants: Easy to clean and maintain, with no watering needed
- Trailing vines: Create shaded cover and vertical movement options
- Broad-leaf foliage: Offers hiding spots and supports humidity
- Suction-cup plants: Attach to glass for climbing reptiles
- Terrarium-safe live plants: Natural look and feel, great for bioactive setups
Not all plants are reptile-safe, so it's important to choose those that work with your species and tank. When placed well, both real and faux plants can add structure, enrichment, and visual appeal to your reptile's home.
