Zoo Med Naturalistic Flora Tillandsia Air Plant is a life-like artificial plant designed to add distinctive tropical foliage, cover and visual interest to reptile and amphibian enclosures.
The Tillandsia-inspired design brings the appearance of an air plant into the vivarium without the specialist care required by live planting, making it an easy way to add greenery to tropical and naturalistic setups.
Natural-Looking Tropical Foliage
Zoo Med’s Naturalistic Flora range is designed to create the appearance of a flourishing tropical environment while remaining extremely low maintenance.
The Tillandsia Air Plant works well amongst cork, branches, backgrounds and other tropical décor, adding another layer of foliage while helping break up open areas within the enclosure.

Water Droplets & Natural Drinking Behaviour
The water-resistant foliage allows droplets to collect following misting. For reptiles and amphibians that naturally drink from leaves, this provides additional surfaces from which water can be taken.
Privacy & Shelter
The artificial foliage provides additional visual cover and sheltered areas within the enclosure, helping break up exposed spaces while giving animals places to rest amongst or retreat behind the leaves.
Secure Root Stake
A sturdy root stake allows the Tillandsia Air Plant to be pushed directly into the enclosure substrate, helping keep it securely positioned during normal animal activity.
The stake also makes the plant easy to reposition when refreshing or changing 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.
