Jacaranda Pod

Sold Out

Looking for all the world like turtle shells, the split fruit capsule of the Jacaranda tree, Jacaranda cuspidifolia, is an awesome little botanical, which will be a perfect supplement to your leaf litter. They definitely have an "exotic" look, which is the perfect aesthetic for any tropical stream biotope!

They will begin to recruit a "biofilm" after a relatively short period of time under water, which fish fry, small fishes, snails, and ornamental shrimp will appreciate.

As pods go, these are on the smaller size; ranging from about 2.25"-2.5" (5.71-6.35cm) in length, and about 1.25" to 1.75" (3.17-4.44cm) wide. They're a beautiful little pod with an interesting, nut-like outer shell and a woody interior.

PREPARATION: Boiling is the way to go. And, being lightweight, it typically takes at least a 35-40 minute boil to get them to sink.

ORIGIN: Brazil
