A variety of plants are suitable for inclusion within the vivarium, of which the most commonly available are the Ficus sp. Ficus come in a variety of shapes and sizes and offer different benefits to the pygmy. Ficus natasja has a rigid branching structure and provides a secure means on which to climb. This ficus is good for providing a high level climbing arena for the pygmies. Ficus pumilia however is a creeping variety and as such is not so rigid. However, due to the light weight of the pygmies they are still able to climb it to an extent and it provides excellent coverage both along the ground, and up the side of the enclosure if it is trained to climb so. The denisty of the foilage on this ficus will also provide a degree of security to a timid pygmy.

A layer of sphagnum moss on top of the soil substrate will help to retain humidity and provides a non-linear ground surface on which the pygmies can climb. Other good plants include ferns and mosses.
