Buddha pods
This large seed pod comes from the Pterygota alata tree that is native to forests of South-East Asian countries. These pods can be used as a water pool, egg laying site, hiding shelter or just decor to amphibians and small reptiles. Tannic acid, phenols and other compounds leached from buddha pods appear to have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic properties. All of our aquatic botanicals need to be boiled for at least an hour to saturate them before use. This is a natural product and variation between leaves and botanicals is expected.
