Exo Terra Boston Fern

The Exo Terra Boston Fern is a realistic artificial plant designed for reptile and amphibian terrariums where live plants simply aren't viable. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scale, it brings the look and feel of a planted setup without the maintenance or environmental compromises that come with live vegetation.

Where Live Plants Fall Short

High temperatures, low humidity, intense basking spots, or plant-eating species all make live planting difficult or impossible in many setups. Artificial plants fill those gaps without wilting, dying back, or introducing pests. They hold their shape and colour regardless of the conditions inside the enclosure.

Accurate Reproduction

The Boston Fern is modelled as a close replica of its natural counterpart, with leaf detail and growth form that reads as convincing within a planted terrarium. Used alongside live plants, it allows keepers to fully plant even the hottest or driest zones of an enclosure — areas where real foliage would struggle to survive.

Functional as Well as Decorative

Beyond aesthetics, artificial plants serve a practical role in any terrarium setup. They provide additional cover and visual security for shy or skittish species, effectively expand the usable space within the enclosure, and can be repositioned or removed for cleaning without any damage to the plant itself.

Choosing the Right Size

The Boston Fern is available in more than one size, so you can match the plant to the scale of your enclosure and the other elements within it. Check the available variants on this page to select the size that works best for your setup.
