The concepts of 'Terrascaping', 'Bio-Active', and 'Living Terrariums' are increasingly popular in the realm of reptile and amphibian care, as keepers gain awareness of the advantages of creating a living ecosystem for their pets. Beyond the visual appeal of a planted terrarium, there are concrete and tangible benefits for the animals. Live plants offer natural shelter and climbing spots, shade, areas for basking, and regulate humidity. Similar to the way live plants can enhance worker well-being in an office, they can also benefit animals in a terrarium.

When selecting plants for a terrarium, it's crucial to choose those that are appropriate for the environment and won't become too large. While some plants may seem suitable when they're small at a garden centre, they may eventually grow to be too big for a terrarium.
