Exo Terra Silk Plant Ficus

The Exo Terra Silk Plant Ficus brings natural-looking foliage to any terrarium without the maintenance demands of living plants. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scale, it's a practical choice for reptile and amphibian keepers who want a well-planted setup regardless of the conditions inside.

Where Live Plants Can't Survive

High temperatures, low humidity, intense basking zones, and herbivorous or destructive species all make live planting difficult or impossible. These artificial ficus plants are designed for exactly those conditions — they hold their shape and colour where real plants would wilt, dry out, or simply get eaten.

Designed to Look the Part

Exo Terra's silk ficus plants are modelled on their natural counterparts, replicating the leaf structure and growth habit of real ficus foliage. The result is a terrarium that looks convincingly planted without the need for grow lights, pruning, or root space.

More Than Decoration

Artificial plants do more than fill visual space. Within the enclosure they create cover and sightline breaks, giving animals areas to retreat to and reducing stress. They also effectively extend the usable surface area of the terrarium, encouraging more natural movement and behaviour.

Mixing With Live Plants

The Exo Terra Silk Plant Ficus works well alongside living plants. Using artificial specimens in the hottest or driest zones — near basking spots or heat mats — lets you maintain a fully planted aesthetic throughout the enclosure without compromising your live plants by placing them somewhere they can't thrive.
