The Butterfly Palm is one of the tallest pieces in the Amazon Jungle range — 50cm of fine, arching fronds on a single stem. It reads as a palm rather than a typical aquarium plant, which makes it a good background feature in a tall tank or a planted terrarium where you want height without a solid wall of green.
At 50cm it needs the depth to match. Measure from substrate to the underside of the lid before ordering: in anything shallower than about 45cm the fronds will bend over at the waterline rather than stand.
Features
- 50cm height — background scale for tall aquariums, paludariums and terrariums
- Fine arching fronds — moves with the flow instead of standing rigid
- Open habit — screens the back glass while still letting light through
- No maintenance — no lighting, CO2, fertiliser or trimming, and herbivorous fish will not eat it
- 350g shipping weight
Care
Rinse under warm running water before it goes in the tank. Every few months, lift it out and swish it in a bucket of old tank water to shift the algae film that settles on any decor — never use soap or detergent.
Worth knowing
Artificial plants do not take up nitrate or oxygenate the water the way live plants do. They are for structure, cover and looks — your filter and water changes still do the work.
