Description

Product Details:

  • Source Location:  India.
  • Size:  4-6 inches long.
  • 100% Natural:  Organically sourced and naturally dried, these pods are free from artificial chemicals, making them a safe and sustainable choice for various applications.
  • Versatile Use:
    • Aquarium:  Tail springs promote biofilm, and shrimp especially enjoy the springs. They also contribute to a natural environment which stimulates natural behaviors for fish and shrimp. NOTE: These springs do elongate, and the springs or curls spread farther apart when they get wet.
    • Bioactive Terrarium:  Palm spring curls add texture to enclosed floors. Provides hiding spots and a food source for isopods and springtails, enriches the substrate by releasing nutrients as they break down, and encourages natural and instinctive behaviors such as foraging and exploring. NOTE: These springs do elongate, and the springs or curls spread farther apart when they get wet.
    • Botanical Home Decor:  Perfect as standalone decorative pieces, bowl fillers, or integrated into larger natural arrangements, terrariums, and potpourri.
    • Craft & Art Projects:  Their unique shape and texture inspire endless creative possibilities in wreaths, mixed media art, jewelry, and more.

Preparation for Aquarium Use:

  1. Boil:  Boil the pods for at least 15 minutes to help them sink and leach initial tannins.
  2. Soak:  Soak in clean water overnight or longer if needed, changing water daily, until they are fully waterlogged and the desired amount of tannin has been leached.
  3. Ready to Use:  Once they sink and you've achieved your desired water coloration, they are ready to add to your tank.

Please Note:  As a natural product, each palm tail spring pod will vary in size, shape, and color.  These pods are intended for decorative, craft, and aquarium/vivarium use only. These pods are not intended for human consumption.
