Jacaranda Pods
Jacaranda mimosifolia is a sub-tropical tree native to south-central South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its attractive and long-lasting violet-coloured flowers. Jacaranda , 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.
SIZE: They're about (4-6cm) or so in diameter on average, with openings around (4cm when forced open). These pods will leach some tannins into the water over the long term.
PREPARATION: You need to boil Jacaranda 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 Brazil however we source ours locally from WA
