"Nano" Lotus Seed Pod (Package of 36)

Sold Out

Like it's larger bretheren, this botanical is part of the "seed head" of the Lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera). However, these little, light-as-a-feather botanicals average only 0.75- 1 inches (approx. 10.9-2.54 cm) in diameter!

Interestingly, the seeds, and possibly the seed pods of the Lotus are known to contain polyphenols, protein, polysaccharides...compounds often found in other botanicals and leaves to which "medicinal" properties for fishes are ascribed. However, we'll stop short of implying any benefit for your fishes other than their unique aesthetics!

PREPARATION: We recommend boiling them for approximately 40 minutes or so, followed by an overnight soak. Being super lightweight and quite buoyant, it will sometimes take a bit of effort to get these little guys down!
