Would you ever come across plastic rocks or roots in the woods? No way! However, many terrarium accessories are made of plastic to save money, often at the cost of quality. The key to a successful setup is replicating the animals' natural environment. Cork branches for terrariums do exactly that—they’re natural, biodegradable, and safe, just like the real thing found in the wild.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE CORK BRANCHES, AND HOW ARE THEY USED?
Cork branches are natural bark pieces from cork oak trees—sometimes hollow, sometimes solid.
Where do they work best?
- In terrariums, aquariums, and vivariums.
- In outdoor gardens for an organic touch that blends seamlessly with plants.
ARE CORK BRANCHES RESISTANT TO MOISTURE AND MOLD?
Absolutely. Cork doesn’t absorb water like wood and won’t develop mold like synthetic decorations often do.
But here’s what you should keep in mind:
- Inspect them regularly for any damage.
- Clean them occasionally with a damp cloth.
- Ensure good ventilation inside the terrarium when possible.
IS NATURAL CORK COMPLETELY SAFE FOR ANIMALS?
Yes, it is. Cork contains no harmful chemicals, dyes, or adhesives. It’s pure bark with its natural texture.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN CORK BRANCHES WITHOUT DAMAGING THEM?
- Dry cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
- With a damp cloth: Gently wipe down the branches if needed.
Important note: Don’t use chemical cleaners. They can damage the structure of the cork and be harmful to animals.
DO CORK BRANCHES CHANGE COLOR OVER TIME?
Yes, but only slightly. Over time, they may darken to a richer brown tone. This isn’t a sign of deterioration—it’s part of their natural aging process, much like what happens in nature.
HOW DO YOU CUT CORK BRANCHES TO FIT YOUR TERRARIUM?
All you need is a sharp knife or a handsaw. Mark where you want to cut and carefully follow the line.
DO YOU HAVE CORK AVAILABLE IN OTHER SHAPES AND SIZES?
Yes! We also offer cork tubes and flat cork pieces. You can mix different types to create a diverse and dynamic terrarium setup.
Designing a terrarium takes time and effort, but plastic decorations often disappoint—they crack, fade, and develop mold within months. On top of that, they can leach harmful chemicals. Cork branches, on the other hand, are a natural, long-lasting, and safe solution for your animals.
#1 PLASTIC = ISSUES, CORK = LONG-LASTING & NATURAL
Budget-friendly plastic decorations and fake roots may look fine initially, but they start breaking down quickly—they fade, crack, and even develop mold. Cork branches, on the other hand, won’t peel or degrade, even in damp environments.
Artificial decorations often contain chemical coatings, glue residues, and synthetic dyes that may harm your pets. Cork is 100% natural and free of any toxic substances, making it the safe, organic choice for your terrarium.
#2 SUPPORTING NATURE, NATURALLY
There’s a common misconception that natural materials don’t last long, but cork proves otherwise. It resists moisture, doesn’t grow mold, and can maintain its integrity for years. Harvested directly from nature, cork can return to the earth without creating harmful waste like synthetic products do.
By selecting natural cork, you’re helping reduce plastic waste and choosing a material that’s sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable.
#3 BRING THE WILD INTO YOUR TERRARIUM
Cork branches aren’t just inspired by nature—they are nature. Their unique, irregular shapes and rough surfaces add authenticity, unlike the symmetrical, mass-produced plastic decor. Arrange them vertically, horizontally, or mix them with other natural items—it’s up to you!
Reptiles like geckos and snakes instinctively prefer cork. Its natural texture gives them better grip and feels more like their original habitat, promoting natural behaviors and comfort.
