WHAT EXACTLY ARE CORK BRANCHES & HOW CAN THEY BE USED?
Cork branches are natural pieces of bark from cork oak trees. Depending on their shape, they may be hollow or solid.
Where do they work best?
- Perfect for terrariums, vivariums, and aquariums.
- Great for gardens, adding a rustic, nature-inspired touch.
ARE CORK BRANCHES WATER-RESISTANT & DO THEY PREVENT MOLD?
Yes, absolutely! Cork naturally repels moisture, unlike plastic or wood, which can absorb water and develop mold.
How to keep them in top shape:
- Inspect them occasionally for signs of wear.
- Wipe them down with a damp cloth when needed.
- Ensure proper ventilation inside the terrarium.
IS NATURAL CORK COMPLETELY SAFE FOR PETS?
Yes! It contains no harmful chemicals, dyes, or adhesives—just pure, untreated bark.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN CORK BRANCHES WITHOUT DAMAGING THEM?
- Dry method: Use a soft brush to remove dust.
- Gentle wipe-down: Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the surface.
Important: Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can break down the natural structure of the cork and pose a risk to animals.
DO CORK BRANCHES CHANGE COLOR OVER TIME?
Yes, a slight change is natural. Over time, they may darken slightly, but this is simply part of the aging process, just as it happens in the wild.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO CUT CORK BRANCHES?
Use a sharp knife or a handsaw. Mark your cutting line and proceed with steady, controlled movements.
DO YOU OFFER OTHER TYPES OF CORK FOR TERRARIUMS?
Yes! We also provide cork tubes and flat cork pieces. Mixing different shapes creates a more dynamic and natural terrarium setup.
You've designed the perfect habitat, but plastic decorations crack over time, fade in color, and develop mold. Worse, they often contain chemical coatings and adhesives that can harm your pets. Cork branches offer a completely different experience—natural, long-lasting, and safe.
#1 PLASTIC = SHORT-LIVED, CORK = NATURAL & DURABLE
Cheap plastic decorations and artificial roots may look fine at first, but they don’t last—colors fade, cracks appear, and mold takes hold. Cork branches, on the other hand, stay intact and maintain their natural look, even in humid conditions.
Many synthetic decorations contain glue residues, artificial dyes, and chemical coatings that could pose risks to your pets. Cork is a 100% natural material, free of toxins or harmful substances. It blends seamlessly into any terrarium, creating a safe and organic habitat.
#2 SUPPORTS THE ENVIRONMENT INSTEAD OF HARMING IT
There’s a misconception that natural materials don’t hold up well over time. That’s simply not true—especially when it comes to cork. It naturally resists moisture and mold, staying in great condition for years. Plus, it comes straight from nature and decomposes safely back into the environment, unlike plastic waste that lingers in landfills.
By choosing cork, you’re cutting down on plastic waste. It’s a renewable, biodegradable, and eco-conscious alternative for responsible pet owners.
#3 A MORE NATURAL TERRARIUM EXPERIENCE
Cork branches don’t just mimic nature—they are nature. Their organic shapes and textures aren’t factory-made molds, but real pieces of the wild. Position them however you like—upright, laying flat, or mixed with other natural elements.
Reptiles like geckos and snakes instinctively gravitate toward cork over plastic decorations. The natural surface provides better grip and closely resembles their native environment. Nature knows best.
