Philippines Classic Driftwood - mangrove wood from the water XL 40cm - 50cm

XL Roots for Large Aquariums. Recommended for tanks of 200l, 250l, and 300l

What is mangrove root? We often come across this term referring to various pieces of wood like the ones in this auction. However, it is worth knowing that classic driftwood is not always part of a root. It is generally a collection of wooden elements that have eroded in water over the years, changing their color but primarily their shape and structure.

These unique driftwood roots have been naturally shaped by the process of water erosion, which has smoothed and formed them into their current, unique shapes. Erosion has given them an authentic texture and appearance that beautifully reflects the true beauty of nature.

Where is Philippines Classic Driftwood from?
As you might guess, our driftwood roots have been carefully collected mainly from rivers and lakes in the Philippines, but also from surrounding countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.

Safe and Eco-Friendly: Each piece of wood is thoroughly washed and boiled to ensure the absence of salts, bacteria, fungi, or pesticides, guaranteeing complete safety for your fish.

Does it change pH?
Yes, the roots have been treated in such a way as to retain their natural ability to lower the pH of the water, which is a great remedy for too high pH levels that often occur in aquaristics. An ideal solution for planted aquariums, where the pH should be lower than neutral.

Is your water pH appropriate? No problem! Put the root in water for a few to several days and change the water frequently, and you will eliminate its water-softening properties.

Aesthetics and Functionality: These beautiful pieces of wood not only add charm and naturalness to the aquarium, but also provide shelter and structure that are beneficial for aquatic life. Ideal for fish that like to hide. Moreover, driftwoods are perfect for planting Anubias, mosses, or other aquatic plants.



The root is a natural product. Roots are sent randomly. Each one is selected and trimmed by hand. Shapes may vary and colors may differ slightly.
