WIO Cotton Pods are sourced from the Gossypium hirsutum tree, native to North and South America but widely cultivated. Known as “cotton petals” in the trade, these broken capsules of cotton feature boat-shaped segments that taper to an acuminate tip and are shiny on the interior. Measuring 1.5-3 cm long and 1-1.5 cm wide, these botanicals are ideal for creating a visually appealing and naturally enriched environment in your aquatic or terrestrial setups.   Cotton Pods provide essential enrichment for your habitat’s inhabitants, encouraging natural behaviors and interactions. The unique structure and composition of these pods make them a versatile addition to any setup. They gradually release beneficial tannins into the water, enhancing the water chemistry and replicating natural conditions. These botanicals also offer hiding spots and foraging opportunities for fish, shrimp, and other inhabitants, contributing to their overall health and well-being.   Whether you are looking to create a new setup or enhance an existing one, Cotton Pods from the Gossypium hirsutum tree provide the perfect blend of beauty and functionality, fostering a dynamic and thriving ecosystem.
