Banksia Aroma Pot S size (55×75×75mm) from Banksia Gifts, Australia. This is a completely natural aroma pot that requires no electricity or fire, utilizing the whole fruit of the "Banksia," a plant native to Australia. When a few drops of essential oil are added to the center of the Banksia fruit, its porous body absorbs the oil, and the scent slowly diffuses through multiple small holes. The fragrance can last for up to two weeks.
About the Banksia Plant
Banksia is a genus of plants belonging to the Proteaceae family, native to Australia, with approximately 170 species. It is a representative native plant of Australia. It was named after botanist Joseph Banks, who accompanied explorer Captain Cook on his voyage in the 18th century. Its large, distinctive flower spikes are popular as Australian wildflowers in botanical art and floral design worldwide. The fruit (cone) of the Banksia is exceptionally hard and dense, a natural bounty that has been utilized by indigenous Australians for various tools and materials since ancient times.
Mechanism and Features
The Banksia fruit has a porous structure, allowing essential oil components to slowly diffuse from the central hole (where the essential oil is dropped) to multiple small holes on the surface. It's a natural diffuser that requires no electricity or flame, quietly spreading fragrance. Since naturally dried fruits are used as they are, each one has a unique shape, color, and pattern, making it a truly one-of-a-kind item. It can be displayed as an interior object as well as an aroma pot.
How to Use
Add 5 to 10 drops of your preferred essential oil to the center (the hole) of the Banksia fruit.
Place it on a table or shelf. The fragrance will slowly begin to spread.
When the scent fades, add more essential oil.
When changing essential oils, it is recommended to wait for the old scent to completely evaporate before adding a new one.
Also Consider Aroma Items
If you are looking for an electric aroma diffuser, please consider the Crystal Light Diffuser. It is compatible with all essential oils in Kosmic Alchemy's organic essential oil series, such as Lavender, Palo Santo, and Eucalyptus Globulus.
No, it's not necessary. Simply drip essential oil into the holes of the banksia pod, and its porous body will absorb the oil, naturally diffusing the scent. Since no power source is required, you can place it anywhere and leave it as is even when you're out.
Can any essential oil be used?
Yes, you can use almost any essential oil. We support everything from single notes like lavender, eucalyptus, palo santo, and peppermint, to synergy blends. Please try it with your favorite essential oil.
What size room is this suitable for?
This is a personal aroma item that doesn't have a strong diffusing power but gently scents your immediate surroundings (desk, bedside table, washstand, etc.). If you want to quickly scent a large space, the 7020 Crystal Light Diffuser is more suitable.
Are all the shapes the same?
No, each Banksia pod has a unique shape, color, and surface pattern. As they are natural materials, there are individual differences, and the one you receive may not be exactly the same shape as shown in the picture. These variations are part of the charm of natural materials.
