Details
Origin: India
Size: Approx. 1.25–2 inches long, 1–1.25 inches wide
100% Natural: Organically sourced, naturally dried, and chemical-free
Uses
Aquariums & Paludariums: When properly prepared, these pods release moderate tannins, support biofilm growth, and help create a natural environment for fish and shrimp. Their dense build makes them long-lasting underwater.
Bioactive Terrariums: Offers shelter and grazing material for isopods and springtails, while adding nutrients to the substrate as they break down. Great for harvesting springtails from soil cultures.
Decor & Crafts: Ideal for bowl fillers, terrariums, potpourri, wreaths, and mixed-media art.
Aquatic Preparation: Boil for at least 15 minutes, then soak in fresh water (changing daily) until fully saturated and tannin levels reach your preference.
Note: Each pear pod will vary naturally in size, shape, and color. Intended for decorative, craft, aquarium, and vivarium use only. Not for human consumption.
