NewCal - Coco Flowers - 1oz

NewCal Coco Flowers (1 oz) are natural coco‑shell “crowns” used in bioactive and naturalistic enclosures to provide both structure and nutrition for small invertebrates. They’re valued for their durability, their ability to mimic forest‑floor microhabitats, and the slow‑release tannins they contribute to the environment.

What NewCal Coco Flowers Are

Coco Flowers are the dried crown sections of coconut shells. Their layered, cup‑like structure creates a textured, natural element that fits seamlessly into terrariums, vivariums, and isopod cultures. They’re sold in a 1 oz pack and are designed to be long‑lasting in humid, naturalistic setups.

Why They’re Used in Bioactive Setups

• Shelter & micro‑hides — The curved, ribbed structure creates tight hiding spaces ideal for isopods, springtails, and other microfauna. 

• Slow‑breakdown nutrition — As the coco material decomposes, it becomes a food source for isopods and other detritivores. 

• Natural tannin release — Adds mild tannins to the environment, helping mimic jungle‑floor conditions and supporting bioactive balance. 

• Aesthetic value — Adds a natural, tropical look to enclosures.

How They Fit Into an Enclosure

Coco Flowers work well in:

• Isopod cultures (primary use)

• Bioactive reptile or amphibian setups

• Tropical terrariums

• Naturalistic displays needing texture and micro‑habitats

They can be placed on top of substrate, partially buried, or used as anchor points for leaf litter.
