Bring Nature Indoors with Real Driftwood
Transform your aquarium, reptile enclosure, or indoor plant display with this stunning piece of natural driftwood.

Made in China.
Why You'll Love This Driftwood

Tips for Use
Before adding driftwood to your aquarium, we recommend soaking it in clean water for 24–72 hours to waterlog it (so it sinks naturally) and to pre-leach tannins. Change the soaking water a few times for a clearer tank. For reptile enclosures, a quick rinse and dry is all that's needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this natural driftwood safe for fish and reptiles?
A: Yes! This driftwood is 100% natural and free from high-concern chemicals, dyes, and coatings, making it completely safe for use in aquariums with fish, shrimp, and live plants, as well as reptile enclosures housing bearded dragons, geckos, and other reptiles.
Q: Will the driftwood float or sink in my aquarium?
A: Natural driftwood may float initially. We recommend soaking the piece in water for 24–72 hours before placing it in your tank. This allows the wood to fully absorb water so it will sink and stay in place naturally.
Q: Will this driftwood discolour my aquarium water?
A: Natural driftwood releases tannins that can give aquarium water a light tea-brown tint. This is harmless and actually beneficial for many fish species. To minimize discolouration, soak the driftwood and change the water several times before placing it in your tank.
Q: Can I use this driftwood for air plants (Tillandsia)?
A: Absolutely! Driftwood is one of the most popular mounts for air plants. Simply attach your Tillandsia to the driftwood using a small amount of non-toxic glue or wire, and mist the plant regularly for a beautiful, natural living display.
Q: Which size should I choose — 10–15 cm or 15–20 cm?
A: Choose the 10–15 cm piece for smaller tanks, nano aquariums, or compact reptile enclosures. The 15–20 cm piece is better suited for mid-size to larger setups where you want a more prominent natural focal point.
