Description

Spiderwood with Plants is a natural piece of spiderwood — the pale, intricately branching wood with a distinctive angular, tangled structure — pre-grown with a curated selection of aquarium plants. The combination of spiderwood's pale appearance and living plant coverage creates an immediately naturalistic feature that replicates the look of submerged root systems found in tropical rivers and streams.

Spiderwood is a lightweight wood well suited to epiphytic plants that attach to wood and rock naturally. The plants selected for it — typically including a combination of Java fern, Anubias, moss, and similar low-tech species — all grow in low to medium light without CO2 injection and require no substrate planting. Once established they continue growing and gradually increase their coverage of the wood over time.

All plants are pre-established on the spiderwood so no further attachment is needed — simply rinse and place in the aquarium. Spiderwood is lightweight and may need a brief soak or temporary weighting to submerge fully. The exact plant species supplied may vary with seasonal stock availability. Suited to aquariums of 40 litres and above.
