Casuarina pods x 20

Product description:
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.
