The shells are a sustainably sourced biproduct from our family's seafood processing business on the west coast of Wales. Learn more about our commitment to sustainability and our process here.
Our shells are ideal as a decorative top dressing to enhance indoor plant pots and terrariums. Great for cacti, succulents and most houseplants.

This bag contains approximately 1Kg of shells.

Why not add on one of our Potting Cups - The perfect tool for scooping and decanting shells and other substrates.
By using our shells, you're helping us to make a dent in the estimated 5,000 tonnes of waste shells generated in the UK fishing industry every year.
* This is a natural product from the sea and we do our best to remove any foreign material.
* The shells may occasionally hold on to some aroma due to their porous nature. This will normally disappear within a day or so of being exposed to the air and will not affect their performance.
Reviews
Love the product. Looks great on my pots. Great that it’s a bi-product of the seafood industry but two one kilo bags didn’t go far so an expensive option.
Crushed whelks just what I needed to put around my plants to keep the slugs and snails away. Will definitely be buying more . .
Love this product and am buying it for all my friends too. It looks great and always gets positive comments
Work well to get rid of slugs/snails & look stylish around plant pot edges as well
Good quality and very attractive in glass bowls. But they smell a bit fishy.
