Casuarina pods (x20)

Casuarina Cones (pack of 20) are natural elements derived from the casuarina tree (Casuarina), featuring a curved design and a sturdy texture. Resembling small miniature pine cones, they add an authentic and functional touch to bioactive setups while promoting the well-being of wildlife.

They allow you to:

• Provide exploration and resting areas for microfauna (baby isopods and springtails love to hide in their many small cavities)

• Serve as a substrate for biofilm and beneficial microorganisms, creating a permanent feeding zone

• Structure the decor with a realistic “tropical” or “natural forest” look by scattering them on the ground to mimic natural forest litter

Advantages of La Swamp Casuarina Cones:

• 100% natural, untreated, carefully harvested and sorted

• Ideal for tropical terrariums, bioactive setups, paludariums, and freshwater aquariums (highly favored for shrimp tanks)

• Decompose slowly, releasing beneficial tannins (antifungal and antibacterial properties) and nourishing microfauna over time

Recommended use:

• In terrariums: place on the substrate, especially in humid areas, to provide prime refuges for detritivores.

• In aquariums: soak or boil for a few minutes to promote immersion and limit the initial release of tannins.

Lifespan:

Casuarina cones decompose slowly, offering durable support to microfauna for several months thanks to their very resistant woody structure.
