Eco Tech Hanging Abutilon w/Vine 60cm
Living-look greenery without the upkeep. The Eco Tech Hanging Abutilon Vine (60 cm) is a realistic artificial plant that drapes down a terrarium wall or background, giving shy reptiles and amphibians the leafy cover they use to feel secure – with no light, watering or trimming required.
Key features
- 60 cm hanging vine – long enough to run from a canopy mount or upper backdrop point down toward the substrate in most standard-height enclosures.
- Flexible stem – bends and holds its shape, so it can be trained around branches, mesh or background features to suit your layout.
- Won't wilt or fade under heat lamps – unaffected by basking heat or UVB output the way real foliage can be.
- Wipes clean – rinse under a tap or wipe down during routine enclosure cleans; no soil, feeding or misting needed.
- Adds cover without reducing usable floor space – foliage sits on the vertical plane, leaving substrate area free.

Will it fit my enclosure?
Measure the internal height of your terrarium or vivarium before buying. At 60 cm, this vine suits mid-to-large enclosures when mounted near the roof and left to drape toward the substrate. In a shorter enclosure, coil the excess length around a branch or mount it along a side wall instead of top to bottom.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for terrariums, vivariums and paludariums housing geckos, snakes, tree frogs and other species that use foliage cover to feel secure. Also used as a background accent in planted or semi-aquatic setups, mounted above the waterline.
Not suitable as an enclosure feature for species known to chew or ingest decor, since artificial foliage is not digestible and swallowing it can cause impaction. Not designed for full, permanent submersion.

Common questions
Will the colour fade under UVB or heat lamps?
No – the foliage is made to withstand terrarium lighting and heating without fading or melting the way real plants can scorch.
Can I cut it to a shorter length?
Yes. The flexible stem can be trimmed or coiled to fit a shorter enclosure without affecting how it drapes.
Is it safe with reptiles that dig or burrow?
It's designed to be mounted on the wall or canopy rather than buried, so it stays clear of digging and burrowing activity at substrate level.
Does it need cleaning like live plants?
It needs far less – wipe or rinse it during your normal enclosure clean rather than watering, feeding or pruning.
