Description
Create impressive vertical scale and bold hardscape geometry with this Upright Mountain Spire Malaysian Driftwood. Featuring a broad, solid base that tapers upward into a majestic pillar-like peak, this dense hardwood piece brings immediate height, structural stability, and warm reddish-brown tones to planted aquariums and biotope layouts.
Its weathered, vertical wood grain and flat-cut base allow it to sit securely on substrate beds, acting as a dramatic focal point or background anchor. The textured surface features natural vertical fissures and ledges, providing ideal mounting spots for epiphytic plants like Anubias, Bucephalandra, and Java Fern, or for training climbing mosses up its length.

Directions for Use
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean water before placing into your aquarium to remove any loose surface dust.

Although naturally dense, pre-soaking in a container for a few days helps release initial surface tannins if crystal-clear water is preferred.
-
Anchor live epiphytic plants or mosses into the vertical crevices and ledges using aquatic plant glue or thread.
