{"product_id":"pl-exo-terra-pro-paludarium-small-x-tall-45x45x90cm","title":"Exo Terra Pro Paludarium™ Small X-Tall","description":"\u003cp\u003eTurn a compact floor area into a tall tropical plant display with the \u003cstrong\u003eExo Terra Pro Paludarium Small X-Tall\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its \u003cstrong\u003e45 x 45 x 90cm\u003c\/strong\u003e format offers scope for a planted background, carefully chosen miniature orchids and foliage arranged above a water feature. For growers who enjoy building upwards, it provides a setting where the interest can run from the waterline to the highest planted branch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild a garden above the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry arranging a narrow pool along the front, with raised planting behind and an upright cork feature carrying small mounted plants. An open strip of water can provide a visual contrast to the textured planting above. Leave some background visible so the display retains a sense of depth as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe square footprint encourages a vertical composition rather than a wide landscape. Plan the position of each mounted plant before construction, allowing space for leaves and flower stems. Removable mounts or accessible planting pockets can make later pruning and replacement easier without taking the entire display apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA setting for miniature orchids and ferns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable miniature epiphytic orchids can become the focal points of the upper planting. Epiphytes use branches or other surfaces for support rather than growing in ordinary soil. Choose species that suit the temperature, light and humidity you can provide, and arrange their roots so water drains freely instead of collecting around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact tropical ferns can add softer foliage, while selected \u003cem\u003ePeperomia\u003c\/em\u003e varieties offer contrasting leaf shapes on a drained land section. Use moss selectively around the composition rather than allowing it to engulf orchid roots. Plants grown above water still need individual care; humid air is not the same as permanently wet roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical features for a taller planted enclosure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLockable front access helps with routine care, and the removable stainless steel mesh top gives another route for installing upright decoration. Adjustable ventilation provides three positions for managing airflow. This is useful when balancing moisture retention with the fresh air required by your planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extra-deep basin incorporates a closable bottom drain for water removal. Rear inlets and internal tubing channels help route equipment neatly, with attachment points for misting nozzles. It is Monsoon-ready, but the Exo Terra Monsoon misting system is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight and water at every level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the paludarium on a level support capable of carrying the completed setup. Install the drainage fittings and follow the manufacturer's leak-testing instructions before landscaping. Keep land roots above the standing-water level, and leave access to the drain and any water equipment so maintenance remains practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 90cm-tall enclosure needs thoughtful lighting. Select a grow light for the plants and their distance from the fixture, not simply for how bright the top looks. Avoid placing all the broadest leaves above the lower planting. Check moisture on upper mounts separately from plants rooted near the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the Small X-Tall for an orchid-led paludarium or a vertically planted garden with a modest pool below. It can also be developed for suitable animals, but their space and environmental needs require separate planning. Plants alone can provide a complete and engaging display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45cm wide x 45cm deep x 90cm high.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer code:\u003c\/strong\u003e PT4406.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine Livefoods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62748482568579,"sku":"PL-THT614","price":287.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0108\/3418\/2207\/files\/exo-terra-pro-paludarium-small-x-tall-45x45x90cm-housing-149.webp?v=1791198632","url":"https:\/\/gardenwildlife.com\/products\/pl-exo-terra-pro-paludarium-small-x-tall-45x45x90cm","provider":"Garden Wildlife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
