Terrariums are stunning environments for growing tropical indoor plants. If you add pets, such as frogs, lizards and tropical invertebrates, you’ll have a vivarium. To do that successfully, it’s important to match the habitat as close as you can with the animal’s natural surroundings.

From a starter kit to a professional set-up, the background and lining of your terrarium or vivarium will be key to its success. Our NZ tree fern tropical background is ideal for your live plants, orchids and epiphytes to give your animals an environment that mimics their habitat.

Fernwood Soft Tree Fern Panels are an ecologically friendly, non-toxic background panel made from New Zealand Tree Fern. These natural panels, also known as Xaxim tree fern panels, are excellent for use in your terrarium, vivarium and green walls. They will support epiphytes, climbing plants, vines and mosses.

The panels hold moisture exceptionally well, which in turn will keep steady humidity. The natural capillary action of the panels makes it easy to keep them damp using a drip or misting system. Fernwood Soft Tree Fern Panels can easily be cut into smaller pieces to fit individual requirements.
