Rainforest Plant Cotton 590x440mm – Hydrolon

This 590 x 440 mm hydrolon panel suits keepers of tropical terrariums who want live plants on the walls or backdrop instead of bare décor. It gives roots a material to anchor in, so the planting can be mounted on vertical surfaces.

Why it matters

• Three-layer construction: two outer layers are separated by a layer of nylon fibres, and the outer layers are highly hygroscopic with a structure that lets roots penetrate the material.
• Water absorption up to 285%: water spreads quickly across the whole surface, similar to natural substrates such as bark or peat.
• Aerated middle layer: roots have access to both moisture and air, which supports plant growth.
• Neutral pH 7.0 and UV resistance: the material does not alter the chemistry of the enclosure and holds up under UV lighting.

What it works with

The panel is intended for tropical terrariums where plants are grown on décor surfaces. Its 590 x 440 mm size covers a single large back wall or several smaller sections, and it can be installed in any orientation. It is designed to be used together with live plants that establish roots in the material.
