Live Food Plant Land Cress

Land cress is a reliable, nutrient-rich edible plant widely accepted by herbivorous and omnivorous reptiles. This 10cm pot from ProRep is grown organically and arrives ready to use — place it straight into the enclosure or keep it on the windowsill and harvest stems as needed.

Nutritional Value

Land cress provides a fresh, natural source of vitamins that complements a balanced reptile diet throughout the year. Offering live plants alongside prepared foods adds variety and encourages natural foraging behaviour in the enclosure.

How to Use

The entire pot can be placed directly inside the vivarium or terrarium, allowing animals to graze at will. Alternatively, grow it on a windowsill and cut stems or leaves as required — a practical approach that extends the plant's useful life considerably.

Organic and Pesticide-Free

This plant is certified 100% organic and has been raised without pesticides, making it safe for reptiles and other animals to consume without concern. Cleaner food sources are always preferable when feeding live vegetation to sensitive species.

Suitable Species

Well-suited to tortoise, lizard, and other plant-eating reptile enclosures. Land cress is also enjoyed by certain birds and small mammals, making it a versatile addition for multi-species keepers.

A simple, low-effort way to introduce fresh, traceable vegetation into your setup — and one that many reptiles take to immediately.
