What are Swell Reptiles Jungle Plants?
Swell Reptiles Jungle Plants are a mix of tropical garden plants and hardy plants with dramatic foliage that are found in real jungles and the jungle border. The live plants are picked randomly and can include Asplenium, Ficus, Piliea, Hoya, Peperomia, Salaginella, Hemionitus, Pilea, Rhoeo, Davalia, Microsorum, Soleirolia, Chamaedorea, Chlorophytum, Epipremnum, Fittonia, Philodendron, Selaginella or Spathiphyllum as well as other jungle-style garden plants. These live plants generally enjoy high and wet heat, so they are well suited to a terrarium in the colder climate of Britain. The two options we offer in this range are the Jungle Plant Mini Kit, which includes 6 plants, and the Jungle Plant Collection, which comes with 20 plants. Most of the live plants in this range are sold no larger than eight inches in size but, like most hardy exotics, can grow into quite large specimens.
Why should I buy Swell Reptiles Jungle Plants?
Jungle plants stand out from other plants with their bold foliage and brightly coloured flowers. From understated tree ferns to more striking Cobra lilies, each hardy plant will amaze friends and family with its exotic appearance. Many plants in this range are also good choices for vivariums with live reptiles as they can add structure and colour. For example, broad leaves are perfect for creating a shady spot away from heat lamps and an evergreen shrub can make a private sheltered spot. By using Jungle plants you can create a real jungle of your own.
How do you create a jungle garden?
The Swell Reptiles Jungle Plants are a great way to start a jungle garden full of tropical plants. While the cold winds of Britain are unlikely to offer conditions for an outdoor jungle garden, you can grow many exotic garden plants in a terrarium or vivarium, where you can control the humidity and temperature to encourage growth. With careful gardening, you can create a terrarium filled with orange, pink and red flowers that creates the perfect jungle look.
