Sansevieria 'tiny sanny'
This exotic variety of "Mother in Laws Tongue" is a stunning and versatile addition to any dry or scrub terrarium. Its flat leaves grow up to 10cm tall and can be planted in groups or in combination with snake plants (Sansevieria mikado). This species is tolerant of varying moisture and light conditions but does not thrive in low light or wet soil. It is able to store water in its leaves and roots, making it ideal for direct planting in a dry or scrub terrarium as it does not require constantly damp soil. Please note: your purchase includes one plant only. The product image displays the potential variegation you may receive.
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.
