Its Bromeliad-style foliage provides the look of tropical planting without the care requirements of a live plant, making it a practical addition to vivariums and paludariums where additional cover and greenery are required.
Natural-Looking Tropical Foliage

Water Droplets & Natural Drinking Behaviour
The water-resistant foliage allows droplets to collect across the leaves following misting. For reptiles and amphibians that naturally drink from foliage, this provides additional surfaces from which water can be taken.
Privacy & Shelter
The broad artificial foliage creates additional sheltered areas and visual barriers within the enclosure. This can help break up open spaces while providing animals with places to rest amongst or retreat behind the leaves.
Secure Root Stake
A sturdy root stake allows the Chestnut Bromeliad to be pushed directly into the enclosure substrate, helping keep the plant securely positioned during normal animal activity.
The stake also makes it easy to reposition the plant when changing or refreshing the enclosure layout.
Water-Resistant & Easy to Maintain
Zoo Med Naturalistic Flora plants are water resistant and require none of the watering, pruning or specialist lighting associated with live tropical plants.
The Chestnut Bromeliad measures approximately 28cm high and 14cm across, making it a compact way to introduce a useful area of dense foliage.
