Eucalyptus seed pods are small pods from the Eucalyptus sp. tree.   Eucalyptus pods do naturally contain a small amount of essential oil, so they do have a slight eucalyptus scent.  

Product Details:

• Source Location:  India.

• Size:  Approximately 0.5 inch to 1 inch in diameter.

• 100% Natural: Organically sourced and naturally dried, these pods are free from artificial chemicals, making them a safe and sustainable choice for various applications.

• Highly Versatile:

• Aquarium:  When properly prepared, they can release a moderate amount of tannin, promote a lot of biofilm, and they contribute to a natural environment which stimulates natural behaviors for fish and shrimp.

• Bioactive Terrariums:  Provides hiding spots for isopods and springtails, serves as 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 forging and exploring.  Some of these pods have a larger opening and small reptiles and amphibians such as dart frogs and small geckos can use them as hides.

• Botanical Home Decor: Perfect as bowl fillers, potpourri, or integrated into larger natural arrangements.

• Craft & Art Projects: Their unique shape and texture inspire endless creative possibilities in wreaths, mixed media art, and more.

Preparation for Aquarium/Paludarium 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 the 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 be added to your setup.

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