Talawa wood is particularly suitable for aquascaping due to its straight but branched shape. If desired, these roots of Asian origin can be covered with moss or plants such as Anubias or ferns. The root can be used in the aquarium or in a terrarium. The wood can float and mold in the initial phase. The mold is not harmful to the aquarium and will disappear on its own after a while. It is also possible to remove the fungus with a brush. It does take some time for the wood to sink. It may be useful to make it heavier with a stone. Initially, the water may turn slightly brown, but only very little humic acid is released.
