Exoterra saniainen pieni sademetsäkasvi 24x24x16CM

An artificial plant for a rainforest terrarium, 24 × 24 × 16 cm.

The Boston fern is a dense fern with arching fronds of the kind that grows on the shaded floor of tropical forests. The dense foliage makes a sheltered pocket at ground level.

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.
