Exo Terra Silk Plant Ruscus Large PT3051 | Vivarium Artificial Plant

The ET Silk Plant Ruscus Large (PT3051) is a realistic artificial ruscus plant designed for reptile vivariums and terrariums where live plants simply aren't practical. Whether conditions are too hot, too dry, or your animals have a habit of destroying real vegetation, this silk plant delivers the same visual and functional benefits without the upkeep.

Built for Vivarium Conditions

Live plants struggle or fail entirely in many reptile setups — intense basking spots, low humidity desert builds, and species that graze or uproot vegetation all make real plants a poor fit. This artificial ruscus is crafted as a close replica of its natural counterpart, holding its shape and appearance regardless of temperature or humidity extremes.

More Than Decoration

Artificial plants in a vivarium do genuine work beyond aesthetics. The Ruscus Large provides cover and visual breaks that reduce stress in inhabitants, creates additional surfaces for arboreal species to use, and effectively extends the usable space within the enclosure. These are the same functional roles a live plant would play, with none of the maintenance.

Combining with Live Plants

This silk plant works well alongside real vegetation. Placing artificial plants in the hottest or driest zones — where live plants would fail — while using real plants in more temperate areas allows you to achieve a fully planted look across the entire vivarium, including spots that would otherwise remain bare.

A straightforward, durable addition to any vivarium that gives your setup a naturalistic finish and provides genuine environmental enrichment for your animals.
