These Fallen Fruits black drainage stones are designed for indoor gardening enthusiasts looking to create professional-grade terrariums. They provide a crucial drainage layer that prevents root rot by allowing excess water to settle away from plant roots while offering a sleek, decorative finish. While these stones are perfect for moisture management, they are specifically sized for smaller indoor setups and may require rinsing to remove dust before use.

Yes, it is highly recommended to rinse the stones under running water to remove dust that could cloud your terrarium glass.
These stones are designed for terrarium use. While they are inert, they are not specifically treated for fully submerged aquarium environments.
A depth of 1 to 2 inches is generally sufficient for most standard-sized home terrariums.
Yes, they are inert and will not leach harmful chemicals or significantly change the pH balance of the substrate.
5kg provides a substantial volume of stone, enough for several medium-sized terrariums or one very large display container.
This is typically caused by residual dust. If the water remains cloudy after a week, consider using distilled water to reduce mineral buildup.
This is usually caused by excessive light exposure hitting the drainage layer. Move your terrarium to a location with bright, indirect light rather than direct sunlight.
To set up your drainage layer, pour the desired amount of stones directly into your clean, dry terrarium vessel. Before adding the stones, it is recommended to rinse them in a bucket or colander to remove any naturally occurring stone dust, which ensures your glass remains clear.
Compatibility: These stones work with glass bowls, bottles, and specialized terrarium kits. They are chemically inert, meaning they will not alter the pH level of your soil, making them compatible with tropical plants, ferns, and succulents alike.
Care: Over time, minerals from tap water may accumulate on the stones. If you notice discoloration, simply remove the top layers of the terrarium periodically to rinse the stones or replace the top layer if aesthetic degradation occurs.
