Small Bell Cup Pod
type: Product
description: Bell Cups are the naturally dried fruit capsules of the Aegle marmelos tree, commonly known as Bael fruit, Bael cups, or Indian Bael. These pods offer both a hide for small animals and are a food source for isopods, springtails, shrimp, and aquarium inhabitants that like biofilm. Please visit our sister website www.naturepodsbotanicals.com for bulk quantities. Product Details: Source Location: India. Size: 1.6 to 2 inches in diameter. About the size of a golf ball. 100% Natural: Organically sourced and naturally dried, these pods are free from artificial chemicals, making them a safe and sustainable choice for various applications. Highly Versatile: Aquarium: When properly prepared, they can release a moderate amount of tannin, promote biofilm, and they provide unique hiding spots and contribute to a natural environment which stimulates natural behaviors for fish and shrimp and act as a spawning site for them as well. These pods are sturdy, but it's recommended to remove any of the leftover fruit that may be softened by the boiling process. This is especially important in smaller aquariums. Bioactive Terrariums: Provides hiding spots and a food source for isopods, and springtails, provides hides for small reptiles and amphibians such as dart frogs, enriches the substrate by releasing nutrients as they break down, and encourages natural and instinctive behaviors such as forging and exploring. Some bell cups can also hold water, and they also can be attached to the background and a plant can be potted in it for some unique decor. No additional preparation of the botanicals is necessary for bioactive enclosures. Preparation for Aquarium/Paludarium Use: Boil: Boil the pods for at least 30 minutes to help them sink and leach initial tannins. Removing any softened fruit pulp is also advised. Soak: Soak in clean water overnight or longer if needed, changing the water daily, until they are fully waterlogged and the desired amount of tannin has been leached. Ready to Use: On…
