Elder Root
Elder Root, Add texture, contrast, and natural depth to your layout with Elder Roots-flexible, durable, and beautifully twisted real roots that bring the raw essence of nature to your aquarium or terrarium.
Elder Roots are the ultimate material for achieving realism and dimension in your scapes. Sourced from natural roots and heat-treated for durability, these dark-toned roots come in a wide variety of shapes, curves, and thicknesses-each one unique, each one full of character.
Their rich, very dark brown color creates dramatic contrast against lighter substrates and lush greenery, making them ideal for both underwater and terrestrial designs. Whether you're recreating the forest floor or crafting a wild riverbank, Elder Roots allow you to build complex structures with an organic flow. Strong enough to support moss and epiphyte plants, they open the door to stunning botanical hardscapes.
Beyond aesthetics, Elder Roots are a natural source of tannins, helping to gently lower pH and recreate the soft, acidic conditions of tropical freshwater biotopes. This not only benefits aquatic life but also imparts a warm, tea-colored tint to your water-evoking the authentic beauty of places like the Amazon Basin.
The WIO difference: Elder Roots are our top-selling wood product, carefully selected for their natural form, strength, and adaptability.
