The “Jungle Pod” is a seed from the Sterculia foetida tree; commonly known as the wild almond tree or java olive tree.
These jungle pods are rich brown in coloration with a thick wood-like texture to the outer shell, naturally caused by the drying out process that occurs from the sun. Making each pod unique in size, color, shape, and texture!
Get creative with these beautiful seed pods. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing but they provide various functional uses within a bioactive terrarium or aquarium setting.
