What are Lotus Seed Heads?

These decorative pods are from the Lotus plant, an aquatic plant originating from India and Asia. They are conical in shape with distinctive holes on the surface where the seeds once grew. Interestingly, these seed heads are a common trigger for those with trypophobia, the fear of clusters of small holes. Perfect for naturalistic terrarium and vivarium setups.

The benefits of Lotus Seed Head

Lotus seed heads are perfect in either an arid or tropical setting and are ideal for use in naturalistic and Bio-active terrariums. They are also widely used in aquariums, releasing beneficial tannins and offering shelter for small fish fry and shrimps as they would in the wild. The small holes in these seed heads make great hiding areas for isopods and jumping spiders, and also creates enrichment by encouraging natural hunting and foraging behaviours in a variety of species.

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

How to use Lotus Seed Head

  1. Place anywhere in the enclosure for decorative effect.
  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.
