The Exo Terra Bird’s Nest Fern is an extremely realistic replica of its natural counterpart. Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) is native to Eastern Tropical Africa, Tropical Southeast Asia and Australasia. This amazing fern thrives both epiphytal or terrestrial and can thus be found growing high up in palm trees but also on the rich organic matter of the tropical forest floor. The Bird’s Nest Fern gets its name from the fact that the center of the plant resembles a bird’s nest. The Bird’s Nest Fern creates a 3-dimensional habitat and increases dwelling space significantly. The bright green lance-shaped leaves not only provide shade, but also create a visual barrier which lets your reptiles and amphibians experience an increased feeling of safety and reduced stress. Exo Terra’s artificial ground cover plants are easy to clean & maintain, while the weighted base allows you to easily position the plant after maintenance.
The Exo Terra Bird’s Nest Fern is ideal for use in more ‘sterile’ set-ups (e.g. quarantine terrariums) or in those spots of the terrarium where live plants cannot thrive or survive.
A combination of live plants and Exo Terra’s artificial plants allows you to fully plant a terrarium, even in the hottest or driest parts.

Habitat enrichment.
The Exo Terra® Bottom Plants contribute to the overall well-being of your animals. They provide environmental enrichment in the form of climbing objects, but also visual barriers for hiding and resting, stimulating their natural behaviors. The Exo Terra® Bottom Plants also create a larger 3-D surface, giving the animals much more room to play. By offering a more enriched environment and larger 3-D space, the activity levels of your animals will increase, making them fitter and more alert.
reduces stress.
Good hiding places and visual barriers are an often underestimated and necessary feature when setting up a natural terrarium. If reptiles and amphibians do not feel sufficiently "invisible", they will easily develop stress which will negatively affect their activity pattern and reduce their appetite. The Exo Terra® Bottom Plants provide shade, enlarge the 3-dimensional dwelling space and create hiding spots and visual barriers which let your reptiles and amphibians experience an increased feeling of safety and reduced stress.
Easy maintenance.
The Exo Terra® Bottom Plants are safe, hygienic, and easy to clean & maintain. Simply clean the Bottom Plants by rinsing with water when soiled. The non-toxic material used for the Exo Terra® Bottom Plants is sturdy, easy to clean and disinfect and allows you to create a a healthy & hygienic environment for your animals. Exo Terra® Bottom Plants allow you to give your terrarium a natural appearance, while minimizing bacterial growth.
