Preparing and dressing it

At 20 x 20 x 12cm, the small bonsai suits nano and small aquariums, paludariums and terrariums, and is safe for fish, shrimp and turtles. The supplier recommends disinfecting it with Safe4 before use. Because the wood is not pre-soaked, the time it takes to sink varies, so weigh it down with stones if needed. To dress it, tie or glue small clumps of moss to the branches; kept moist, they spread to form a canopy over a few weeks.

Good to know

Soak new wood before use until it sinks, and expect some tannins to tint the water at first; regular partial water changes and activated carbon will clear it.
