We're often asked which species of plants and shrubs are suitable for tortoises which live in arid environments.  We hope this page will assist you in constructing a tortoise habitat which contains plants which are drought resistant, and offer  safe and naturalistic shelter for your animals. Once established, plants like these need little care and very little water.  Just click on the name of a plant to see a photograph of it.
