What are Buddha Nuts?

A large rounded nut from the Pterygota alata tree found in Southeast Australia with a dark smooth outer shell and light coloured ribbed inner. Perfect for naturalistic terrarium and vivarium setups.

The benefits of Buddha Nuts

Buddha Nuts are perfect for use in naturalistic and Bio-active terrariums, in either an arid or tropical setting. They are also widely used in aquariums, adding beneficial tannins and offering shelter for fish and shrimps. These nuts make fantastic decorative pieces in medium to large terrariums and are useful for creating a raised basking spot on the flatter side of the nut. They also make great hides due to their large size; adult dart frogs can comfortably climb inside.

  • Suitable for bio-active and naturalistic terrariums.
  • Aquarium safe.
  • 100% Natural and free from chemicals.

How to use Buddha Nuts

  1. Place into the enclosure on the surface of your substrate
  2. Mix with other seed pods, nuts, leaf litter and moss to create a forest floor (detritus layer).
  3. Spot clean regularly, removing waste and insect husks will help to minimise mould growth.
