Uses

• Aquarium: An ideal starter or top-up pack for blackwater, biotope, betta fish care, and shrimp aquascapes. The pods produce tannins and biofilm, create microfauna hotspots, act as natural hides and spawning sites, and build a naturalistic environment that fish and shrimp thrive in.
• Bioactive Terrarium & Reptile Enclosures: These seed and nut pods serve as sustainable natural decor, isopod and springtail hides, and a long-lasting food source. Safe for reptiles — these reptile-safe nuts and pods hold up well in humid vivariums.
• Botanical Home Decor: A beautiful, textured bowl filler or natural arrangement accent.
• Craft & Art Projects: A versatile assortment for wreaths, mixed media art, DIY potpourri, and more.

Aquarium Preparation

Boil pods for 15–20 minutes to release initial tannins, then soak overnight to help them become waterlogged and sink. Start by adding one or two pods to see how your aquarium reacts — you can always add more. See our full botanical preparation guide for step-by-step instructions.

Please Note: Natural product — pods will vary in size, shape, and color. Not for human consumption.
