Rainforest Plant Cotton 440x440m – Hydrolon

This hydrolon panel is intended for keepers who want live plants growing on vertical surfaces of a tropical terrarium rather than only on the floor. It gives roots a moist, aerated base on the back wall, so the background can be planted and kept green.

Why it matters

• The two outer layers are highly hygroscopic and have a structure that lets roots grow into the material.
• A nylon fibre layer separates the outer layers, and the middle layer stays well aerated, so roots have access to both moisture and air.
• Water spreads quickly across the whole surface, similar to natural substrates such as bark or peat.
• The material is UV-resistant, and its neutral pH of 7.0 is listed as a property of the product.

What it works with

The panel is designed for tropical terraria with planted vertical elements, where it serves as a growing surface for epiphytic and climbing plants. Its 440 x 440 mm size suits a single rear or side wall section, and it can be combined with other background panels and decorative elements from the same range.
