Mediterranean plants
Mediterranean plants – Hardy plants for dry terrariums
Mediterranean plants are the right choice if you want to create a natural-looking terrarium that is dry or only slightly moist. In this category, you’ll find plants that thrive with little moisture and are ideal for arid habitats. These include succulents, drought-tolerant grasses, ground cover plants and other hardy plants that give your terrarium a natural and varied look.
Whether it’s a rocky landscape, a scrub steppe or a dry woodland area – Mediterranean plants ensure an authentic design whilst also creating structure, hiding places and varying heights within the terrarium.
Plants for dry climates
In this category, the term ‘Mediterranean plants’ refers to plants suitable for dry to moderately dry terrariums. Not every species originates from the Mediterranean region. What matters most is that they require little water and are suited to dry climates.
That is why you will find a varied selection of different plant types here, which can be combined perfectly with one another.
From succulents to ground-cover plants
Every terrarium looks more natural when different types of plants are combined. That is why our range includes, amongst other things:
- Succulents
- drought-tolerant grasses
- ground-cover plants
- compact-growing terrarium plants
- texture-adding accent plants
This creates varied landscapes that look much more natural than a planting scheme featuring just one plant species.
Ideal for desert and steppe terrariums
Mediterranean plants are perfectly suited to terrariums with low humidity and well-drained substrate. They look particularly harmonious when combined with natural stones, cork, branches and mineral substrates. This creates a habitat modelled on the world’s arid regions, whilst remaining easy to maintain.
Many of these plants are also suitable for animals from arid climates, as they cope well with the conditions typical of such environments.
Easy to care for and long-lasting
Most Mediterranean plants require a bright spot and well-drained substrate. They should also only be watered once the substrate has dried out considerably. Very few species can tolerate waterlogging, which is why good drainage is particularly important.
With the right lighting and a little care, these plants will thrive for many years and become an integral part of your terrarium.
