Zoo Med Desert Flora Green Aloe – Artificial Vivarium Plant

Zoo Med Desert Flora Green Aloe is a life-like artificial plant designed to add natural-looking greenery, cover and visual interest to desert and arid reptile enclosures.

The upright Green Aloe design complements dry, rocky environments particularly well, bringing the appearance of a desert succulent into the vivarium without the care requirements of a live plant.

Natural-Looking Foliage for Arid Vivariums

Zoo Med’s Desert Flora range is designed specifically to complement desert-style environments. The realistic artificial foliage adds colour and texture while also providing additional privacy and sheltered areas within the enclosure.

The Green Aloe design works especially well alongside rocks, sand, arid substrates, cork and other desert décor, providing a splash of greenery while retaining the overall character of a dry habitat.

Removable Rock Base

Zoo Med Desert Flora plants feature a removable rock-style base designed to provide sturdy footing while blending naturally amongst rocks, substrate and other arid enclosure décor.

The removable design also provides greater flexibility when positioning the plant as part of a customised vivarium layout.

Privacy & Shelter

Even open desert-style environments benefit from areas of cover. The upright Aloe foliage creates additional visual barriers and sheltered spaces that reptiles can move beside or retreat behind, helping break up exposed sections of the enclosure.

Water-Resistant & Easy to Maintain

Zoo Med Desert Flora plants are water resistant, making them easy to incorporate into routine enclosure cleaning and maintenance.

Unlike live succulents, Green Aloe requires no watering, soil, pruning or specialist plant lighting while still providing permanent natural-looking greenery within the vivarium.
