Cyca Leaves
Enhance your habitat with the distinctive beauty and natural benefits of our Cyca Leaves. Derived from various species of the Cycas genus, these botanicals are perfect for adding visual interest and enrichment to your aquarium, paludarium, or terrarium.
Our Cyca Leaves are sourced from various species within the Cycas genus, known for their stiff, feather-like fronds and prehistoric allure. Native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, these leaves bring a unique and exotic touch to any habitat.
Typically measuring 20-100 cm in length, that we cut down to less than 20 cms, Cyca Leaves create a visually striking backdrop that enhances the natural aesthetics of your setup.
Cyca Leaves sink inmediately and provide excellent hiding spots and foraging opportunities for fish, shrimp, and other aquatic and terrestrial inhabitants. As they decompose, they release beneficial compounds into the water, enhancing water quality and mimicking the natural conditions of many species' native environments. The robust structure of these leaves ensures they last longer, creating durable microhabitats and promoting a dynamic ecosystem.
These botanicals gradually release tannins, which can lower the pH of the water and add a subtle, natural tint. This process helps replicate the soft, acidic conditions found in many natural habitats, benefiting species that thrive in such environments.
Whether you are looking to create a new setup or enhance an existing one, Cyca Leaves from the Cycas genus provide a perfect blend of beauty and functionality, fostering a dynamic and thriving ecosystem.
