Product description:
Jackfruit leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus) are a perfect natural botanical for both bioactive terrariums and aquariums. They add a very realistic “forest” touch, create refuge zones, and contribute to a more stable and natural environment.
In terrariums, they serve as litter and, being quite durable, resist rapid decomposition well: excellent for maintaining a functional leaf layer longer and supporting microfauna (isopods/springtails). In aquariums, their firmer cuticle provides a great surface for biofilm and microorganisms, making them a very good choice for shrimp, snails, and small grazing fish.

Can leave a very aesthetic “leaf skeleton” at the end of decomposition
Usage (terrarium):
Place the leaves on the substrate (surface or targeted areas)
Lightly mist to speed up integration
Replace as needed when well decomposed (often slower than other leaves)
Usage (aquarium):
Rinse quickly, then soak or boil for 1–2 minutes to help them sink faster (optional)
