Dried Jackfruit Leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus) are a popular natural alternative to Catappa, offering similar mild antibacterial benefits and slow tannin release. In aquariums, they condition the water and provide shelter for shrimp and small fish. In terrariums and paludariums, they serve as durable, decorative leaf litter that helps retain humidity and supports healthy microfauna activity.

Note: Produces a gentle amber tint in water and breaks down gradually. Replace as needed when the leaves become soft or fully decomposed.

Features:

• Slowly releases tannins for mild water conditioning
  
• Helps maintain natural health and balance in aquariums
  
• Provides cover and grazing surface for shrimp and small fish
  
• Suitable for terrariums and paludariums
  
• Ideal for frogs, crabs, isopods, and insect enclosures

Usage:

Rinse or lightly blanch before use. In aquariums, leaves will sink within 1–2 days and decompose over time. In terrariums, scatter as part of the leaf-litter layer or use decoratively to enhance humidity and shelter.
