Exo Terra Plastic Plant Mandarin

The Exo Terra Plastic Plant Mandarin is a realistic artificial vivarium plant designed for reptile and invertebrate keepers who want the look and function of live planting without the maintenance demands. Available in a range of sizes to suit different enclosures and layouts, it works equally well as a standalone feature or combined with live plants to achieve full, natural-looking coverage.

Built for Conditions Live Plants Can't Handle

Not every terrarium is hospitable to live vegetation. High basking temperatures, low humidity levels, strong UV output, or species that simply eat or uproot plants can make live planting impractical. These artificial plants are designed specifically to fill that gap — providing the same visual and functional benefits in environments where live plants would struggle or fail.

A Close Copy of the Real Thing

Each Mandarin plant is modelled as an accurate replica of its natural counterpart, with detailed leaf structure and colouring that holds up under terrarium lighting. The result is a decorative addition that contributes to a believable, enriched environment rather than looking out of place.

More Than Decoration

• Creates additional cover and hiding spots within the enclosure
• Effectively extends the usable dwelling area for the animal
• Can be combined with live plants to achieve full planting across all zones of the terrarium, including the hottest and driest areas
• No watering, pruning, or specialist lighting required

Choosing the Right Size

The Mandarin plant is available in multiple sizes to suit different enclosure scales and planting arrangements. Check the variant options on this page to select the size that best fits your setup — larger sizes work well as centrepiece planting, while smaller sizes suit filling gaps or layering with other plants.
