Zoo Med Desert Flora Silver Mullein – Artificial Vivarium Plant

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

The distinctive Silver Mullein design introduces a softer area of foliage amongst rocks, dry substrates, cork and other desert décor, providing an attractive contrast without losing the overall arid character of the vivarium.

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.

Silver Mullein works particularly well where you want to introduce an area of natural-looking planting without the watering, soil and specialist lighting required by live plants.

• Designed for desert and arid-style enclosures

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 dry enclosure décor.

The removable design also provides greater flexibility when incorporating the plant into a customised vivarium layout.

Privacy & Shelter

Open desert-style vivariums can benefit from additional areas of cover. The artificial Silver Mullein foliage creates extra visual barriers and sheltered spaces that reptiles can move beside or retreat behind, helping break up exposed areas within the enclosure.

Water-Resistant & Easy to Maintain

Zoo Med Desert Flora plants are water resistant, making them straightforward to include in routine enclosure cleaning and maintenance.

Unlike live plants, Silver Mullein requires no watering, soil, pruning or specialist plant lighting while still providing lasting natural-looking foliage within the vivarium.
