* Prior to adding to your vivarium or aquarium, these botanicals should be boiled (~30 minutes) then soaked (at least 2 days) to remove debris and leach out excess tannins that can cause water chemistry shifts. *

Enhance your terrarium, vivarium, or aquarium with our premium selection of natural botanicals. These dried leaves, pods, and other plant pieces not only create a stunning, naturalistic environment, but also provide essential microhabitats and enrichment for your reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Botanicals break down over time, promoting beneficial fungal and bacterial growth, which helps maintain humidity and encourages natural foraging behaviors. Ideal for bioactive setups, these botanicals support a healthy ecosystem while adding a beautiful, rustic aesthetic to your enclosure. Safe, sustainable, and all-natural—perfect for any nature-inspired habitat!

These natural plant products will break down at different rates, adding to the dynamic landscape of a living vivarium.

• Vivarium décor - These natural plant products have been selected to provide a variety of décor options to help scape your vivarium. They’ll also provide hiding places and visual barriers!
• Enrichment for invertebrates - even creepy crawlies need some love! Botanicals will provide a variety of different grazing opportunities for your invertebrates, including springtails, isopods, millipedes, and hermit crabs.
• Fish - Many of these botanicals can be soaked for several days, until they sink, then added to the aquarium. They’ll serve as décor, a tasty treat for shrimp and rasping feeders, and soften the water - ideal for blackwater or lower pH loving species!

Use sparingly in aquaria. We do not recommend using botanicals with other products used to modify water chemistry.
