Casuarina Cones

Casuarina cones are small, woody seed pods collected from the Casuarina equisetifolia tree and are often compared to miniature pinecones. Their natural texture and compact size make them both decorative and functional.

Details

Uses

• Aquariums: When prepared, casuarina cones release moderate tannins, encourage biofilm growth, and help create a more natural environment for fish and shrimp.

• Bioactive Terrariums: Provides shelter and grazing material for isopods and springtails while enriching the substrate as they slowly break down.

• Decor & Crafts: Ideal as standalone décor, bowl fillers, terrariums, potpourri, fairy gardens, wreaths, and mixed-media art.

  
  

Aquatic Preparation: Boil for at least 15 minutes, then soak in fresh water (changing daily) until fully saturated and the desired tannin level is reached.

Note: Each cone will vary naturally in size, shape, and color. Intended for decorative, craft, aquarium, and vivarium use only. Not for human consumption.
