Dragon is the poetry of erosion, sun-baked ochres and rusty browns carved into layered “dragon skin” that reads like wind-lashed cliffs and fossil terraces. Drop a single ridge and the scape takes on age; set a full kit and you get an entire badlands in miniature, with grooves that catch light and pockets that invite plants to settle.

Let the strata set the rhythm. Stand the most sculptural piece on a slight lean to suggest prevailing winds, then echo its angle with supporting stones to create ridgelines, shelves, and natural fall lines where “water” would slip through. Half-bury a few fragments to mimic real deposition, the scene instantly feels discovered, not arranged.

Lighting unlocks the palette. Raking side light warms the ochres and sharpens relief into dramatic shadows; softer top light turns the whole landscape into a gentle, dusk-toned gradient. Under water, textures deepen and the stone’s micro-terraces glow; in terrariums, the faces dry to a matte, sandy calm that plants love.

Use the pockets and seams as living anchors. Press moss and small epiphytes into the grooves with WIO PlantGlue and let roots stitch the rock to wood; in weeks a natural patina emerges. For seamless scale transitions, veil bases with WIO Accents Dragon Chips, then stretch the color story forward with warm sands such as El Dorado or Tigris, a continuous geology from monolith to talus to dune.

Practicalities are on your side: pieces arrive pre-washed and fully inert, keeping parameters steady for sensitive livestock while you sculpt. The result earthy warmth with cinematic texture, bold from across the room, richly detailed up close, and unmistakably natural from day one.

  • KIT Stone Sizes: Nano 3–16 cm; Box 3–20 cm; Mega 3–25 cm (typical mix).
  • Texture: Layered, eroded “dragon skin” with sculpted grooves.
  • Composition: Natural clay-sedimentary stone.
  • Matching: Pairs with WIO Accents Dragon Chips and warm sands.
  • Results: Earthy warmth, soft shadows, natural erosion realism.
  • Ready to Use: Pre-washed; a quick rinse is optional to clear transit dust.
  • Water Chemistry: Inert, will not affect pH or hardness.
  • Safety: Suitable for fish, shrimp, reptiles, amphibians, and plants.
  • Versatile: Ideal for aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums.
  • Packaging: Light Stone Boxes,  same visual volume and piece count, lighter total weight due to natural stone density: Nano 3 kg (≤45 cm), Box 6 kg (≤60 cm), Mega 12 kg (≤90 cm). For larger tanks: Box + Mega ≈120 cm; 2× Mega ≈150 cm. Typical main stone: ~12–15 cm (Nano), 15–20 cm (Box), 17–25 cm (Mega).
  • Origin: Asia; selected and packed by WIO.
  • Care Level: Easy.
  • Why choose this: Choose Dragon for warm, layered geology and inert, stable chemistry.

• Usage

  • Pre-wash: Ready to use; brief rinse improves initial clarity.
  • Placement: Seat the main stone first; echo its angle with supporting pieces for flow.
  • Standalone or Mixed: Use alone or add Accents Dragon Chips and warm sands for slides.
  • Decorate & Plant: Great pockets for moss/epiphytes, use WIO PlantGlue.
  • Filling the Tank: Add water gently; Pro Tip: pour over a plate or décor to protect contours.
  • Final Touch: Skim fines; start filtration; light haze clears within hours.
  • Water Parameters: Inert stones keep pH/kH stable; monitor as usual with livestock.
