Buddha Pod: Found in various parts of Asia including Thailand, Vietnam and India this useful pod comes from the Pterygota alata tree and grows up to 30 metres! Like a few of our similar pods this is ideal for spawning sites for certain fish.
SIZE: They're about (15cm) or so in diameter on average, with openings around 10cm. These pods will leach quite a bit of tannins into the water over the long term
PREPARATION: You need to boil Buddha Pods for at least an hour (sometimes a bit more) to really saturate them, because they do float when first immersed.
ORIGIN: Originally a native too SE Asia however we source ours from Sri Lanka
All our Australian Botanicals are pest and pollution free and are organically sourced.
NOTE: These are a natural product, and display variation in collor, size, and texture. Each pod is unique! The photo serves as a reasonable representation of what to expect.
