Measuring \u003cstrong\u003e60 x 45 x 90cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, it combines a wider planting area with generous height for foliage, branches and mounted specimens. This glass paludarium offers an appealing balance for growers who want a visible water feature below and a substantial planted landscape above, rather than having one element dominate the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRoom to connect land and water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60cm width gives you scope to place a raised bank to one side, an open pool towards the front and taller planting behind. Compared with the Small X-Tall, it adds 15cm of width while retaining the same stated depth and height. Use that extra breadth to separate planting groups and keep the water visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA branch angled across the background could link the upper planting to the lower scene. Keep its base clear of service access, and avoid making the bank so bulky that little usable water area remains. Sketching the layout first helps balance planting, equipment and open space before construction begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant the riverbank, not just the background\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected \u003cem\u003eBucephalandra\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAnubias\u003c\/em\u003e are worth considering around the wet transition zone. These plants can be attached to suitable rock or wood rather than buried like ordinary bedding plants. Keep their creeping rhizomes exposed, and check the conditions required for the chosen variety, especially when establishing growth above water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a separate, drained planting area for compact \u003cem\u003eFittonia\u003c\/em\u003e and other compatible tropical foliage. A miniature fern or suitable mounted orchid can bring interest higher up. Choose a limited mix of leaf shapes and repeat them through the scene, leaving space for each plant to develop without immediately crowding its neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAccess for planting and water maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDual front-opening doors with push latches and integrated locks provide access for trimming and cleaning. The removable, lockable stainless steel mesh top is useful when installing larger branches. Three-position adjustable ventilation lets you change airflow, while cable and tubing inlets help keep equipment organised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extra-deep lower basin includes a closable bottom drain to assist water changes and excess-water removal. Follow Exo Terra's instructions to fit and leak-test the drainage assembly before use. The enclosure also has tubing channels and nozzle attachment points for an optional Monsoon misting system; the system is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign the water section for long-term care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecide on water circulation and filtration before adding the bank. Keep any pump or filter accessible rather than burying it beneath permanent decoration. Water movement, plant growth and a drain do not remove the need to check water quality, remove debris and carry out appropriate maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan lighting across both the width and height of the display, with openings between upper leaves so light can reach lower plants. Keep soil-based planting clear of standing water. A planted pocket should remain moist or dry according to its occupants, not simply follow the level of the pool beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium X-Tall suits a detailed plant-only paludarium with several connected planting zones. Suitable animal inhabitants can be considered separately, provided the finished land area, water volume and growing conditions also meet their care needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60cm wide x 45cm deep x 90cm high.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer code:\u003c\/strong\u003e PT4410.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine Livefoods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62748482666883,"sku":"PL-THT624","price":411.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0108\/3418\/2207\/files\/exo-terra-pro-paludarium-medium-x-tall-60x45x90cm-housing-164.webp?v=1791198635","url":"https:\/\/gardenwildlife.com\/products\/pl-exo-terra-pro-paludarium-medium-x-tall-60x45x90cm","provider":"Garden Wildlife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
