Bonsai Tree Driftwood for planted aquariums is handmade from various natural aquarium-safe driftwoods. Skilled artisans create these trees in a wide range of shapes and sizes to fit almost all aquarium tanks. Bonsai Tree Driftwood is extremely versatile, easy to work with and are the perfect aquarium hardscape material for an instant aquascape layout. These underwater bonsai trees pair well with aquatic plant species such as Anubias, Bucephalandra, Ferns and aquatic moss species. By carefully attaching these aquatic plants species to Bonsai Tree Driftwood, a natural bonsai tree look can be mimicked in an aquarium. On the flip side, this driftwood can be used to display any type of plant, aquatic, terrestrial, and even Tillandsia aka air plants. 

Almost all driftwood is buoyant! Before using Bonsai Tree Driftwood, we recommend soaking the wood for as long as possible prior to adding it into an aquarium. Alternatively, attach it to a dense aquarium hardscape rock temporarily until the wood sinks on its own.

All aquarium driftwood will discolor water. This is normal, harmless and is caused by tannins. Tannins are what give aquarium water a brown or tea colored tint. This can be commonly seen in black water aquariums or biotope aquarium setups. Some hobbyists prefer this look and there are also benefits to having tannins in your water. Some benefits include softer water while also providing an environment that more closely mimics most tropical species environments found in the wild. The color will lighten and dissipate over time with routine water changes and maintenance. If you do not prefer this look, you can remove tannins from your aquarium with this product!
