{"title":"Terrarium \u0026 Paludarium Plants","description":"\u003cp\u003eTerrascaping, the art of terrarium design, is a world in which plants play the main role. They are the ones who breathe life and soul into a terrarium. Various plant categories such as sit-up plants, soil plants, woods, carnivores, climbing plants, mosses, rarities, rheophytes, swamp plants and succulents offer endless opportunities to create unique landscapes. Each category has its specifics and requirements that must be understood and respected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpiphytes - Epiphytes, are plants that grow on other plants without depriving them of nutrients. In this category there are plants such as the Tillandsia, which hold on to rocks and branches with their airy roots. You need high humidity and indirect light to thrive. In the world of sit-up plants, the Neoregelia 'Fireball' stands out, a species of bromelia, which sets color accents with its bright red leaves. Perfect for high humidity and indirect light. The Tillandsia usneoides, also known as Spanish moss, offers a mystical aura with its hanging, silver-green threads. The Wallisia cyanea (formerly Tillandsia) with its wide leaves and the striking flower is a real eye-catcher and is ideal for semi-shaded places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoil Plants - form the basis of every terrascape. They provide a vibrant underworld of mosses and ferns, which is not only beautiful to look at, but also regulates moisture and provides shelter to the soil inhabitants. Popular soil plants are, for example, the fern nephrolepis exaltata or the jewel orchidee. The Cryptanthus bivitatus species, also called Earth stars, adorn the floor with their star-shaped leaves in different color variants from brown to pink to red. The Maranta leuconeura, known for its eye-catching leaf drawings, blends harmoniously into the substrate and prefers even moisture. Goeppertia orbifolia (formerly Calathea) inspires with its large, round leaves and is a real moisture lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoods -  such as small trees or shrubs give the Terrascape height and structure. They can serve as a climbing aid for other plants or as shades for more light-sensitive species. The woods also include the Dracaena species, which bring tropical flair to the terrarium with their sword-like leaves. Among the woods are also species such as the Chamaedorea elegans, a petite palm tree that is characterized by its adaptability and upright growth. The Ficus benjamina, often drawn as a miniature tree, brings a piece of tropical rainforest to the home. The Dracaena fragrans 'Compacta' impresses with its compact shape and the tightly superimposed leaves reminiscent of bamboo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnivorous -  or carnivorous plants, are a special attraction in any terrarium. With their sophisticated traps, they attract insects and thus ensure a natural balance. Species like the Dionaea muscipula, better known as Venus fly trap, are not only an eye-catcher, but also a testimony to the amazing adaptability of nature. Carnivorous plants such as the Dionaea muscipula, the classic Venus fly trap, fascinate by their snapping traps. The Drosera capensis, also known as Cape Sundew, catches prey with sticky tentacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreeper -  use vertical areas to give the terrarium another dimension. They can be drawn along back walls or over stones and roots, creating living green walls. Philodendron 'Mini Midget' and Epipremnum aureum are popular representatives of this category who inspire with their hanging shoots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aquasabi.de\/terrascaping-shop-terrarienpflanzen-moose\" alt=\"Moose\"\u003eMosses\u003c\/a\u003e are indispensable for the microclimate of a terrarium. They keep moisture, provide microorganisms with a home and provide a rich green on the floor and walls. Different mosses such as the bollenmoos can also be used creatively to model small landscapes and hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the rarities are exotic and hard-to-find plants, which give every terrarium a touch of exclusivity. Whether it is rare orchid species or special bromeliads, these plants are a must for enthusiasts and connoisseurs. In the category of rarities, plants such as the Aerangis kirkii stand out, a miniature orchid known for its elegant flowers. The Maxillaria schunkeana, drawn on cork, brings exoticism to the terrarium with its burgundy flowers. The Ceratostylis retisquama, another species of orchid, is an eye-catcher with its bright red flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRheophytes are plants that have adapted to life in flowing water. They are ideal for aquaterrariums where they can grow below and above the water level. Their specialized root systems also keep them in strong current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aquasabi.de\/terrascaping-shop-terrarienpflanzen-sumpfpflanzen\" alt=\"Sumpfpflanzen\"\u003eSwamp plants\u003c\/a\u003e thrive in the moist areas of a terrarium and are indispensable for water treatment.
