Product Description
Do the cholla wood pieces require any preparation?
As an all natural product, the genuine Cholla Wood from SunGrow is thoroughly dried before being shipped. Although we do obtain our cholla wood pieces from sources known to be free of impurities, pesticides or other pollutants, you may want to give them a quick rinse before placing in your tillandsia just to be on the extra safe side. If you are planning to use the cholla wood in an underwater environment, it is recommended to boil and soak the wood so that it sinks to the bottom.
What else can I use the cholla wood for?
Besides being a rustically beautiful decoration and air plant holder, the cholla wood pieces from SunGrow can also be used for a variety of other things. They are perfect for making hand crafted gifts, do-it-yourself home decor and craft projects for kids. Shrimp, small fish and other aquatic pets love to swim around and hide in the cholla wood pieces when placed in an aquarium.
Is the cholla wood safe for other plants and pets?
Safe for all pets and plants, SunGrow Cholla Wood for Air Plants is natural, chemical-free, organic and thorn-free. Being the dried husk of the cholla cactus, these soft and hollow wood tubes make excellent chew toys for birds, hamsters, reptiles and other small pets.
Price: $8.95
