⚠️ Shipping Update – Heatwave Delays

Due to the ongoing UK heatwave, we've temporarily paused shipping of all live livestock and plants to ensure they arrive safely.

The good news is that temperatures are forecast to drop significantly next week, and we'll be resuming dispatches.

Current dispatch schedule:

  • Orders placed 29th June – 5th July: Dispatching Monday.
  • Orders placed 6th July – 12th July: Dispatching Tuesday & Wednesday.
  • New orders placed from today: Dispatching from 27th July.

We've built up a large backlog during the heatwave, so we're bringing in additional staff and implementing a new workflow to get orders out as quickly as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. The welfare of our livestock and plants will always come first.

If you would prefer not to wait, we're happy to offer a full refund. Simply get in touch and we'll arrange this for you.

Thank you for your understanding,

Adam & the MicroExotics Team

Description

The Marcgravia sp. 'Copper' is a rare and attractive shingling vine, prized for the warm copper-toned hues that tint its small, rounded leaves. As the plant grows, the leaves overlap neatly against vertical surfaces, forming a natural shingled pattern that makes it ideal for creating living terrarium backdrops.

Like other Marcgravia, 'Copper' thrives in warm, humid environments with bright but indirect light. It prefers to climb on cork, wood, or stone, where its unique colouring and texture can be fully appreciated. Stable humidity and moisture-retentive substrate are key to maintaining its health and vibrancy.

This cultivar is sought after for its unusual colouring, offering something different from the typical green shingle vines. Whether used as a feature plant in a terrarium or as part of a rare plant collection, it adds a striking and exotic touch.

With its elegant growth habit and rich copper tones, the Marcgravia sp. 'Copper' is perfect for enthusiasts looking to add both rarity and warmth to their terrarium landscapes.
