Creating exciting naturalistic habitats with living plants has never been easier.

Simply create a basic structure with polystyrene, celcon block or expanding foam.

Then create a natural looking surface by applying texturing compound and modelling to look like rocks or wood.

Finally waterproof it with sealing resin, coloured to your choice.

The resin can be left bare or have bark, coconut fibre or sand pressed into it to make a rough, naturalistic surface which allows moss and plants to grow up it.

This powdered modelling compound is used for the second stage. The power is mixed with water to make a paste and then spread over the basic structure to make a textured, realistic base ready for sealing.
