Woody plants

Terrarium plants - Woody plants - Let your terrarium go green!

Trees and shrubs are an enormously diverse type of plant. What they have in common is that they form a long-lived, woody stem. Many climbing plants also form woody stems.
In addition to terrascaping materials such as branches and textured walls, woody plants give the terrarium spatial structure and provide a natural habitat for climbing terrarium animals. Even plants like the weeping fig (Ficus benjamina), which normally grow into tall trees, are suitable for terrariums and can be kept small and shaped with careful pruning.
Just as woody plants exist in all but the most inhospitable climate zones, you can choose from woody plants for terrarium types modeled on a wide range of habitats - from tropical jungle to dry forest and thornbush, or the forests and shrublands of the subtropics and temperate zones.
