Botanicals Budha Pod (Pterygota Alata) L
Buddha Pod is found in various parts of Asia including Thailand, Vietnam and India this useful pod comes from the Pterygota alata tree and grows up to 30 metres! Like a few of our similar pods this is ideal for spawning sites for certain fish.

You need to boil Buddha Pods for at least an hour (sometimes a bit more) to really saturate them, because they do float when first immersed.
