Virgin cork branches

You have a vision for your terrarium—natural, wild, like a piece of the forest. You spend money on decorations that look great in photos, but in real life, something feels off. Maybe it’s the color, the texture, or simply the fact that nature doesn’t create identical shapes. Fake additions end up looking… well, fake. Cork branches blend in effortlessly. Their irregular edges, porous structure, and natural, earthy tones seamlessly become part of the environment. They look like they’ve always belonged there.

You probably have a few questions, so we’ve put together the answers!

WHAT DO CORK BRANCHES FOR TERRARIUMS LOOK LIKE?

They are pieces of cork oak bark—either hollow or solid inside. Their surface is rough, irregular, and full of natural grooves. Each branch is unique because the bark is harvested directly from the tree, and no two trees have the same texture.

WHERE DO CORK BRANCHES WORK BEST?

If you have a terrarium, aquarium, or vivarium, cork branches are a great choice. They create natural hiding spots for reptiles and amphibians while being resistant to mould and rot. For snakes and lizards, they offer a perfect shelter, while for geckos, they provide an ideal climbing surface.

In vivaria, cork branches blend beautifully with greenery and moss, creating a realistic, wild landscape.

HOW TO INSTALL CORK BRANCHES IN A TERRARIUM?

Loose placement – If you want the branches to serve as hiding spots, simply place them freely on the substrate.
Adhesive mounting – To attach branches to the terrarium wall, use aquarium silicone or other reptile-safe adhesive.
Wedge between other elements – If you already have decorations, you can secure natural cork by wedging it between them.

DOES NATURAL CORK RELEASE HARMFUL SUBSTANCES?

No, natural cork is a safe material that does not release toxins. It contains no chemical additives, glues, or varnishes.

Cork branches are 100% natural—they don’t imitate the forest; they are part of it. Each piece of cork has its own unique shape, texture, and colour. They blend seamlessly into any terrarium setup—nothing fits better than authentic nature.

And when it comes to nature, it’s not just about appearance. Terrarium animals need a place to hide and feel safe. Cork branches have irregular shapes and hollow spaces that make perfect natural shelters. Your pet gets a comfortable resting spot, and you get peace of mind knowing it has the right conditions without unnecessary stress.

And then there’s durability and savings. If you find yourself replacing plastic decorations every few months, you know how quickly the costs add up. Natural cork is a one-time investment that lasts— it doesn’t crumble, fade, or crack. Sounds better than another plastic piece that looks worn out after just six months, doesn’t it?
