Enhance your aquarium’s ecosystem with Oak Leaves, a natural and sustainable botanical that adds a touch of nature while providing essential benefits for aquatic life. These leaves slowly break down in water, releasing beneficial tannins that create soft, slightly acidic conditions ideal for shrimp, bettas, and other blackwater species.

Benefits of Oak Leaves in Your Aquarium

  • Natural Water Conditioner – Releases tannins that help lower pH and mimic natural blackwater environments.
  • Boosts Shrimp & Fish Health – Encourages biofilm growth, providing a natural food source for shrimp and fry.
  • Antibacterial & Antifungal Properties – Supports fish health by reducing harmful pathogens.
  • Creates a Natural Aesthetic – Adds a realistic, leaf-littered look to an aquascape.
  • Encourages Natural Behavior – Perfect for breeding tanks and fish that prefer shaded, leaf-littered environments.

How to Use

Before adding to the aquarium, rinse the leaves thoroughly and boil them for a few minutes to sterilize and remove any contaminants. After boiling, they can be added directly to the tank or pre-soaked further to help them sink faster. Over time, the leaves will break down, gradually releasing beneficial compounds into the water.

Pack Size

Available in multiple quantities to suit different aquarium needs.

Give your tank a natural, enriched environment with the soothing benefits of Oak Leaves—a simple but effective addition to any aquascape.

Media Types

What is a Gel Cup?

A tissue culture vessel is a clear gel, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.

These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.

Quick Hardening Steps:

  1. Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
  2. Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
  3. Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
  4. Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
  5. Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.

What is a Transition Cup

Each transparent Transition Cup (5 cm diameter × 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant that has moved beyond sterile tissue culture and into a structured transition medium.

Inside, you’ll find a young carnivorous plant securely planted in a semi-solid blend designed to support root development while easing the shift from gel to soil.

This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity and airflow, helping reduce transplant shock and supporting the plant during this critical transition stage.

Suitable for both novice growers and experienced collectors, Transition Cups provide a reliable, low-stress way to guide delicate carnivorous plants toward successful soil establishment.

Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.

Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.

This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.

Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
