Exo Terra Boston Fern Small Artificial Terrarium Plant PT-2990

The ET Boston Fern Small (PT-2990) is a detailed artificial plant designed for vivariums and terrariums where live plants simply won't survive. Whether your enclosure runs hot and dry for desert species, has lighting that won't sustain live growth, or houses animals that would make short work of real foliage, this artificial fern delivers the visual and functional benefits of a live plant without the upkeep.

Modelled on the Real Thing

This fern is built as a close replica of its natural counterpart, replicating the leaf structure and form of a genuine Boston fern. The result is a naturalistic addition to any tropical or bioactive-style setup that holds up to scrutiny from keeper and animal alike.

More Than Decoration

• Adds visual complexity and naturalistic cover to the vivarium interior
• Creates additional hiding opportunities and shelter for occupants
• Effectively enlarges the usable dwelling area within the enclosure
• Suitable for areas of the terrarium where live plants cannot establish

Works Where Live Plants Can't

High-temperature basking zones, arid setups, and enclosures with specialist lighting are all environments that defeat most live plant species. This artificial fern can be positioned anywhere in the enclosure — directly under a heat lamp or in a low-humidity corner — without any risk of wilting, die-back, or pest introduction.

Combining with Live Plants

Artificial and live plants don't have to be mutually exclusive. Using this fern alongside real planting allows you to fully populate a terrarium, filling in the areas that live species can't occupy and creating a cohesive, planted look throughout the entire enclosure.

Easy to position, straightforward to clean, and built to last in the vivarium environment — the ET Boston Fern Small is a practical, realistic solution for keepers who want a well-furnished enclosure without compromise.
