The Exo Terra Boston Fern is a highly realistic artificial rainforest plant designed to enhance both the appearance and functionality of your vivarium. Accurately replicating the look of a natural Boston Fern, it helps create a more natural enclosure while remaining completely maintenance-free.
Artificial vivarium plants offer many of the same benefits as live plants, including visual cover, natural structure, and increased usable space — without the challenges of lighting, watering, or plant decay.
Habitat Enrichment & Natural Behaviour
This artificial Boston Fern contributes to environmental enrichment by providing shaded areas, resting spots, and visual barriers within the enclosure. These features encourage natural behaviours such as hiding, exploring, and resting, helping reptiles and amphibians feel more secure in their surroundings.
By creating additional three-dimensional surfaces within the vivarium, the Boston Fern effectively enlarges the usable living space, supporting increased activity levels and overall wellbeing.
Helps Reduce Stress
Good hiding places and visual barriers are an essential part of a well-designed vivarium. Without sufficient cover, reptiles and amphibians may experience stress, which can negatively affect feeding behaviour and activity patterns.
Rainforest-style ground plants like the Boston Fern provide shade and enclosure structure, helping animals feel safer and more at ease in their environment.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
Made from non-toxic, durable materials, Exo Terra artificial plants are hygienic and easy to maintain. When soiled, they can be cleaned simply by rinsing with water, helping to maintain a healthy vivarium environment.
The Boston Fern can be used on its own or alongside live plants, making it ideal for areas of the vivarium where real plants may struggle to survive.
