Exoterra pallokaktus iso aavikkokasvi 15x15x15CM

An artificial plant for a desert terrarium, 15 × 15 × 15 cm.

The barrel cactus is a low, rounded cactus of the kind found in the deserts of North America and Mexico. This is the larger model in the range and works as a focal point in the layout on its own.

An artificial plant needs no light, water or nutrients, so it works in the parts of the terrarium where a live plant would not survive – under a basking lamp or in a dark corner. In a quarantine terrarium, where the floor is kept bare and easy to clean, it is often the only option.

The plant is easy to wash and disinfect and can be combined with live plants. It gives the animal cover and hiding places, which reduces stress.
