Spiderwood is known for its wild, multi‑branching shape that instantly adds depth and personality to any aquarium hardscape. This type of driftwood has twisting limbs that make it easy to create a natural, organic look, mimicking the root systems found in riverbanks and forest streams. Whether you stand it upright, lay it on its side, or angle it, each orientation creates a fresh visual story. It’s no surprise that Spiderwood has become one of our favorite driftwood choices here at Buce Plant HQ.
Product Features and Benefits
- Unlike solid logs, Spiderwood features thin, sprawling branches that provide a sense of scale and movement. It is the premier choice for a planted aquarium hardscape, offering endless points to attach moss or small epiphytes.
- The complex tangles create a perfect "jungle gym" for shrimp and small fish, providing safety and exploration zones.
- This aquarium wood is easy to reposition and stack, allowing you to build towering vertical structures or low-profile root systems.

Preparation and Care
Driftwood is a natural product and requires a bit of prep before it’s ready for prime time.
- Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the piece to remove any dust or debris from transit.
- The "Float" Phase: Because it is lightweight, Spiderwood will almost certainly float initially. We recommend soaking it in a bucket or boiling it in water until it decides to join the rest of your aquarium hardscape at the bottom of your tank.
- The "White Fuzz" Phenomenon: It is common for a harmless white biofilm to develop on Spiderwood during the first few weeks. Don't panic, your shrimp and snails will think it’s a five-star buffet. It will eventually disappear on its own.
- Tannin Release: Spiderwood releases fewer tannins than other aquarium driftwood, but a quick boil will still help it sink faster and keep your water clear.
Important note: We recommend rinsing wood thoroughly before adding it to an established aquarium. If you prefer, you may also boil the wood for at least 1–2 hours to help release tannins.

You need these if you have dry mouth
Flavor Name: Slightly Sweet, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I have a real problem with dty mouth due to medications I take. These last at least an hour. They stick well to you gum and they keep your mouth moist, better than any other products for dry mouth. You can even use them when you go to sleep. I use 2 at a time, 1 on each side. Sometimes I just use one. I recommend if you are bothered by dry mouth. They are sugar free.

Dry Mouth...BE GONE!!
Flavor Name: Slightly Sweet, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These are a fabulous product! I have been using them for years. As a CPAP patient, dry mouth during the night is a big issue. Xylimelts solves this completely. Each tablet has a concave side. After you moisten them in your mouth you stick the concave side onto your gums below your teeth, or inside of your cheek. There they stay firmly in place and slowly melt, keeping your mouth perfectly moist all night. My magic bullet is one on each side of my lower jaw and one stuck to the roof of my mouth. They last all night. Xylimelts come in several flavors. Slightly sweet is my favorite, because the mint is a little too strong for me. I cannot live without this product!
My daughter does not have a CPAP machine but suffers with sinus congestion. She uses these every night to combat dry mouth associated with mouth breathing during sleep.
PRO TIP: once you have them firmly in place, do not try to move them. They are solidly glued down and you can cause irritation by prying them up.

Xylimelts work! Don't leave home without them!
I love the mint free version of Xylimelts. The mint flavored ones are also good but I'm not a fan of mint. As far as working to alleviate dry mouth, they work. I'm able to use 1 Xylimelt per night and get about 6 hours of comfort. That is sufficient for my needs. The instructions say that you can use 2 Xylimelts at a time, if you need them. Properly moistened before holding in place on your gum, they will adhere tightly. There are certain products that make my life better and Xylimelts are one of them. While not mentioned in the literature, my experience is that using these over the last two years, I've experienced zero cavities. For me, this makes sense as the Xylimelts help prevent bacteria from adhering. Since dry mouth also encourages cavities, using them regularly give you a leg up at preventing cavities while keeping you comfortable all night. I've never used them in the daytime but they are unobtrusive and were certainly help with chronic dry mouth. Definitely works for me.

Sleep-aid
I've used Oracoat XliMelts for years at night time. I usually only need one for overnight. Keeps my throat dry so I don't keep waking up with a dry mouth.

Finally A Product that Works For Me
I have severe dry mouth. It's due to medication which I need. It was so bad my tongue would stick to the roof of my mouth and I couldn't open it again. I had really bad gun problems and lots of dental work from the infections that developed. Eventually I had to give Up a valuable medication. That was the last century and toothpaste and mouthwash weren't enough. I am.now taking medication that I wouldn't be able to if it weren't for Xylimelts. I found keeping up with the right mouthwash and using this does the trick. I do need some squirts of Biotene spray. That's instant saliva. Keeping this pouches against the gum has been a game changer. It doesn't show. I don't feel it except when it runs out, gets tiny and crumbles into my mouth. That is about two hours. A friend used it and it lasts four hours. I dont remember if I felt it after the first couple of days. It's curved design makes it undetectable. I think the first day of two I kept checking it stayed in place. It does. It doesn't need any particular placement. I put It on the tip of my finger and wherever it goes is fine. This really works. Finally a product that does work for very dry mouth. At night I put two in and they're still there in the morning. I m a mouth breather so the dry mouth was really hard on me comfort-wise. People try to be kind and suggest you have a drink of water. They don't know it's not thirst. I will say taking sips of whatever you like helps. But in the last century I had to give up a valuable medication because my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth so badly I couldn't open it again. Really embarrassing. It wasn't healthy for my gums either. This does it for me. I hope this helps other people who suffer from bad dry mouth or need it less often
