Eucalyptus Bells

Natural Eucalyptus Bells | Bioactive Terrarium Botanicals

Introduce a touch of natural elegance and unique functionality to your enclosure with our Natural Eucalyptus Bells. These dried seed pods from Australian eucalyptus trees offer a charming, cup-like shape that is perfect for creating micro-habitats within your terrarium or vivarium. Their hard, woody texture makes them exceptionally durable and long-lasting, even in high-humidity setups.

Key Benefits for Your Terrarium

• Ideal Small Invertebrate Hides: The cup shape creates a perfect, secure, and dark retreat for small invertebrates like isopods, springtails, jumping spiders, and millipedes. Place them on the soil or nestled among moss for immediate use.
• Surface Area for Biofilms: In humid, bioactive setups, the surface serves as an excellent substrate for beneficial biofilms and fungal growth — a primary food source for your clean-up crew.
• Excellent Isopod Nursery: The protected, enclosed space within the bells is highly attractive to isopod mothers and provides a safe haven for mancae (babies).
• Natural Tannins: Eucalyptus naturally releases mild tannins that help inhibit mould and bacterial growth in your enclosure.
• Durable & Long-Lasting: Hard, woody texture means these bells last a long time even in the dampest setups.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to prepare Eucalyptus Bells before use?
No preparation is required — our Eucalyptus Bells are dried and ready to use. If you prefer, give them a quick rinse with clean water and allow to air dry before placing in your enclosure.

Will they mould in a humid enclosure?
Eucalyptus Bells are naturally high in tannins, which help inhibit mould and bacterial growth. They are among the more mould-resistant botanicals available and perform very well in high-humidity bioactive setups.

Are they safe for jumping spiders?
Yes — Eucalyptus Bells are 100% natural and pesticide-free. Safe for jumping spiders, isopods, millipedes, springtails, and all invertebrates.

Can I use them in both humid and arid setups?
Yes — Eucalyptus Bells are versatile and perform well in both high-humidity tropical setups and drier arid enclosures. Their woody structure makes them suitable across a wide range of invertebrate habitats.

How long will they last?
Eucalyptus Bells are very durable and can last many months to years in most setups. In high-humidity bioactive enclosures, they will gradually break down and provide nutrients for your clean-up crew.
