Description

Elder Roots from WIO are gnarled, slender roots that can be used to create a creative and sophisticated aquascape. Elder roots can also be used in a terrarium. The crooked roots can be wonderfully planted with moss and small perching plants. Thanks to their dark colour, they form a natural contrast and create a special eye-catcher. Each set contains a different number of roots. This allows you to create a very individual aquascape with each set. Elder Root is pre-packed and it is not possible to select the individual roots.

Features

Gnarled but narrow roots for the design of aquascapes and terrariums
Dark roots for high-contrast design options
Pre-packed sets with different sized root pieces
For easier processing, please pre-water for 24 hours

Note

In order to enjoy the roots for a long time, WIO asks you to observe the following:

Rinse the roots under running water before placing them in the aquarium. Then water for 24 hours.
Initially, the roots must be secured against floating up; for this purpose, stones are used as weights or anchors, Wood Tight, Moss Cotton or glue for fastening, etc.. Continue until the root is fully soaked and stays down.
In the early stages, the roots may release tannins that are harmless to the aquarium inhabitants and can slightly colour the water brown. This effect can also be observed in natural blackwater streams. The tannin content in the aquarium can be reduced by changing the water.
If this colouration is undesirable, the roots can be boiled for a few hours or pre-watered outside the aquarium for about four weeks, so that they release as many tannins as possible.
A harmless bacterial lawn can also form on the roots, which can look like a layer of mould. It can be vacuumed off without any problems - if necessary, this has to be repeated. It disappears by itself after about four weeks.
