Khaya pods (x3)

Khaya Pods (pack of 3) are natural elements derived from the African mahogany tree (Khaya), featuring a curved design and a sturdy texture. 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, small reptiles, and amphibians.

• Serve as a substrate for biofilm development and beneficial microorganisms, offering an additional food source for isopods and springtails.

• Structure the decor with a realistic “tropical” or “natural forest” look, mimicking forest floor plant debris.

Advantages of La Swamp Khaya Pods:

• 100% natural, chemical-free, selected for their durability.

• Ideal for tropical terrariums, bioactive setups, paludariums, and freshwater aquariums (to create a tannin-rich biotope).

• Decompose slowly, nourishing microfauna over time while adding a unique woody aesthetic.

Recommended use:

• In terrariums: place on the substrate or elevated depending on the desired effect to create natural shelters.

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

Lifespan:

Khaya pods decompose slowly, providing durable support for microfauna for several months.
