🍂 Dried Sea Grape Leaves (Coccoloba uvifera)
Natural Beauty & Bioactive Benefits for Your Tanks and Terrariums

Bring the shoreline to your scape with our Dried Sea Grape Leaves... a stunning, functional addition to aquariums, vivariums, and bioactive terrariums. These thick, rounded leaves provide far more than just a unique look, they naturally release beneficial tannins, support microfauna, and mimic the forest floors and leaf litter of tropical environments.

Ideal for shrimp tanks, nano aquascapes, dart frog enclosures, isopod cultures, and exotic reptile habitats, sea grape leaves break down slowly and offer a long-lasting source of shelter, biofilm, and enrichment.

🌿 Why Use Sea Grape Leaves?

✅ Tannin-Rich & Bioactive-Friendly – Adds natural humic compounds that support healthy water chemistry and gut flora for many aquatic and terrestrial species.
✅ Visual Texture & Natural Vibe – Their large, round shape and rich color add a warm, coastal forest feel to your setup.
✅ Hides & Microhabitats – Perfect for small critters like shrimp, isopods, and frogs to hide under, graze on, or use as cover.
✅ Slow Breakdown – Longer-lasting than many soft leaves like Indian almond, offering extended use in aquariums or terrariums.
✅ Sustainable & Safe – Naturally air-dried, chemical-free, and hand-collected with eco-conscious care.

🐠 Great For:

• Freshwater aquariums (especially shrimp and nano fish)
• Paludariums & ripariums

🌊 How to Use:

🫧 In Aquariums:

• Rinse lightly or boil briefly to remove surface dust and speed sinking.

• Add directly to your tank; one leaf per 5–10 gallons is typical.

• Expect a slow tannin release, ideal for blackwater or natural-style aquariums.

🪴 In Terrariums:

• Scatter across substrate for a forest floor effect.

• Use in leaf litter layers for dart frogs, reptiles, or invertebrate bioactive setups.

• Replenish as they break down naturally over time.

📦 What You Get:
• Clean, naturally dried, and ready to use
• Packed with care to preserve leaf integrity and maximize coverage

🌱 Fun Fact:
