AQUATICS BY GEORGE
TERRESTRIAL PLANTS
We carry a variety of beginner-friendly terrestrial plants for terrarium and paludarium enthusiasts, and all make excellent house plants as well.
FICUS
**Benjamin Ficus (Ficus benjamina - AKA "Benjamin Fig", “Weeping Fig”, “Wild Fig” etc.)
Small: (4"+) $5
Medium: (8"+) $10
Large: (12"+) $15
(Available in your choice of peat pot, food safe plastic containers, or unglazed terracotta pots - terracotta pots are extra)
Great for small arboreal reptiles and amphibians, (crested geckos, anoles, tree frogs etc.), bioactive terrariums, living walls, or just as a hardy, beautiful house plant.
Also available in larger sizes, even braided together to make super strong branches suitable for larger species to climb on.
Adaptable to either medium or high humidity and low, medium or high light. One of the classic "easy" plants.
Very easy to grow and propagate, and can be trimmed or root bound to make "bonsai" trees for smaller terrariums. They also look lovely planted inside of our aspen hides.
