Exo Terra Silk Plant Abutilon

The Exo Terra Silk Plant Abutilon is a high-detail artificial vivarium plant designed for reptile and invertebrate keepers who want a well-planted enclosure without the limitations of living flora. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scale, these silk plants bring structure, colour, and cover to any terrarium setup.

Where Live Plants Fall Short

Not every enclosure can support live plants. High basking temperatures, low humidity, UVB-heavy lighting, or plant-eating species can all make live planting impractical or impossible. Artificial plants fill that gap without compromise, maintaining their appearance regardless of the conditions inside the enclosure.

Accurate Detail, Practical Results

The Abutilon is modelled closely on its natural counterpart, with realistic leaf shape and colouration that holds up under terrarium lighting. The result is a vivarium that looks planted and natural rather than sparse or artificial. Used alongside live plants, these silk plants allow you to fully furnish even the hottest or driest areas of a setup.

More Than Decoration

• Adds visual cover and breaks up line of sight, reducing stress in shy or territorial species
• Expands the usable space within the enclosure by providing additional surfaces and resting points
• Creates shelter and hiding opportunities without the upkeep of living plants
• Combines well with live planting schemes to complete coverage across all zones of the terrarium

Choosing the Right Size

The Abutilon silk plant is available in small, medium, and large — select the size that suits the scale of your enclosure and the density of planting you're aiming for. Mixing sizes gives a more natural, layered result and works well in both compact terrariums and larger bioactive builds.
