ProRep Air Plant Tillandsia on Cork Bark

A living Tillandsia air plant mounted on a natural cork bark base, ready to place straight into a vivarium or terrarium. Air plants require no soil, making them one of the most practical live plant options for reptile and amphibian set-ups — particularly bioactive builds where cleanliness and root-free planting matter.

Why Air Plants Work in Vivariums

Tillandsia species absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves rather than roots, so there is no substrate disruption and no risk of root rot. They tolerate the handling and environmental variation that comes with a living enclosure, and they contribute to humidity and oxygen levels in a naturalistic set-up.

The Cork Bark Mount

Each plant is presented on a piece of natural cork bark, which doubles as a functional vivarium decoration. Cork is a trusted material in reptile keeping — it is lightweight, durable, resistant to moisture, and provides surface texture that many species use for climbing, resting, and hiding.

Placement and Care

• Suitable for tropical and subtropical vivarium builds
• Mist regularly — air plants draw moisture from their environment
• Position away from direct high-intensity basking spots
• Can be wedged, wedged into decor, or secured with reptile-safe adhesive
• Occasional light feeding with diluted bromeliad or air plant fertiliser supports long-term growth

Each piece is a natural product, so cork size and plant form will vary. What you receive will be a genuinely individual addition to your set-up — no two are identical.
