Lotus pods are a perfect natural hide for isopods and other small invertebrates. Their unique structure, with deep, rounded holes, creates tight, secure spaces that mimic natural crevices, exactly what isopods seek out for safety and comfort.
These enclosed pockets reduce stress, encourage natural hiding behaviour, and support a healthy, thriving isopod colony.
In addition to providing shelter, lotus pods gradually break down over time, becoming a slow-release food source. They also support biofilm and fungal growth, which isopods love to graze on. Lightweight and porous, they help maintain localised humidity levels in your enclosure, especially useful in moist microhabitats.
Functional, long-lasting, and great-looking, lotus pods are a must-have in any bioactive setup.
