Eco Tech Pilea
Lush leaf cover without the upkeep. The Eco Tech Pilea is an artificial foliage plant designed to fill out a terrarium with dense, realistic-looking leaf cover – instant greenery and hiding spots with none of the lighting, watering or trimming a live plant needs.
Key features
- Three sizes – Small, Medium and Large, so you can match the piece to your enclosure rather than cutting one down
- Dense leaf coverage – gives shy or nervous species somewhere to retreat and feel secure
- Fixed, realistic shape – no wilting, no leaf drop, no replacing after a lighting change kills it off
- Rinses clean – wipe or rinse during routine enclosure maintenance

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suited to any dry goods terrarium setup where you want leaf cover and hiding spots without maintaining a live plant. It's decorative only – it won't affect humidity or air quality the way a live plant can, so don't substitute it where your species specifically benefits from live planting.
Goes well with
Works well layered with a vine or branch piece for height, and a substrate that suits your species underneath. Mix sizes across a single enclosure for a fuller, less uniform look.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by your consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as a standard parcel.
Common questions
Which size should I choose for a standard glass terrarium?
For most small-to-mid glass terrariums, Medium (20 x 45 cm) gives solid coverage without overwhelming the space. Go Small for nano setups and Large for bigger display enclosures.
Can I trim it to fit?
It's supplied as a fixed piece rather than a modular mat, so it's best chosen at the right size up front rather than trimmed down.
Is it safe for all reptile and amphibian species?
Yes – it's an inert synthetic decor piece with no chemical treatment. If your species has specific decor sensitivities, check a species care guide.
Does it need cleaning before first use?
A rinse to clear any packaging dust is enough before it goes into the enclosure.
