The wood is tan and turns darker brown once it has been underwater a while. Every piece is different, and each is hand-picked for good shape. It is safe for plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eType: Natural driftwood on slate · Color: Tan, darkening underwater · Size: 12-18 in · Water: May tint the water with tannins at first\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRinse it and soak it in water before it goes in to draw out tannins; boiling the wood helps if it fits a pot. Pieces can float at first, so keep it in a bucket of water until it sinks, usually about a day. Set the slate on or under the substrate. Tie moss or small epiphytes to the branches. Shrimp graze the biofilm on the wood and hide among the branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003ePhotos © AquaticMotiv, used with credit.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eInformation sourced from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aquaticmotiv.com\/products\/spider-wood-on-slate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAquaticMotiv\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AquaticMotiv","offers":[{"title":"12\" - 18\"","offer_id":68415026692317,"sku":"AQMSPI1211","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0856\/5302\/9085\/files\/spider-wood-on-slate-12-18-driftwood-919.webp?v=1793735753","url":"https:\/\/www.mossandmolt.com\/products\/spider-wood-on-slate","provider":"Moss \u0026 Molt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
