I love the contrast that some vivarium and aquarium designs show between the chaos and complexity of a natural plant display and a more formal or abstract setting. The vivariums below illustrate one way of achieving this – through highlighting a single branch or a few branches isolated from their wider setting. The examples without backgrounds or substrate in particular are a high impact way of showcasing epiphytic plants such as bromeliads or miniature orchids or even arboreal animals such as tree snakes and tree frogs.
