Got some questions? No worries, we’ve got answers!
WHAT EXACTLY ARE CORK VIVARIUM BRANCHES, AND HOW CAN YOU USE THEM?
Cork branches are natural pieces of cork oak bark—they come in either hollow or solid forms.
Where can they be used?
- Perfect for terrariums, aquariums, and vivariums.
- As a decorative element in gardens—they complement plants beautifully.
DOES TERRARIUM CORK HOLD UP AGAINST MOISTURE AND MOULD?
Yes, cork is naturally resistant to water and doesn’t trap moisture like plastic or wood, meaning it won’t grow mould.
To keep it in top condition, follow these simple tips:
- Check it occasionally for any signs of wear.
- Wipe it down with a damp cloth if needed.
- Ensure good airflow inside your terrarium.
IS CORK SAFE FOR REPTILES AND OTHER PETS?
Absolutely, cork is free from chemicals, artificial dyes, or glue—it’s just pure, natural bark.
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN REPTILE CORK BACKGROUND?
- Dry brushing: Use a soft brush to remove loose dust or dirt.
- Wiping down: A slightly damp cloth will do the trick.
Tip: Avoid using chemicals as they can damage the cork and might be unsafe for your animals.
DO CORK BRANCHES FADE OR CHANGE COLOUR OVER TIME?
Yes, slightly. Over time, cork may develop a darker, richer shade of brown. This isn’t a flaw—it’s just a natural ageing process, just like in the wild.
HOW CAN I CUT NATURAL CORK TO FIT MY TERRARIUM?
You’ll need a sharp knife or a handsaw. Simply mark your cut line and slice through carefully.
ARE THERE OTHER TYPES OF CORK FOR TERRARIUMS?
Yes! We also offer cork tubes and flat cork pieces. Mix different shapes to create a more natural setup.
You've spent time and effort creating the perfect terrarium, but plastic decorations soon crack, fade, and attract mould. Even worse, they contain dyes, glue residues, and synthetic coatings—none of which are safe for your animals. Cork branches are a whole different story—natural, flexible, and completely safe.
#1 PLASTIC = TROUBLE, CORK = NATURAL & BUILT TO LAST
Cheap plastic decor and artificial roots start to show wear quickly—colours fade, cracks form, and mould takes hold. Cork branches don’t fall apart, even in high-humidity environments.
Many artificial decorations contain adhesives, dyes, and chemical coatings that could be harmful. Cork is 100% natural and won’t release anything toxic into your terrarium. It’s a real piece of nature, just as it should be.
#2 A NATURAL CHOICE THAT LASTS
People often assume natural materials aren’t durable. That’s far from the truth—at least with cork. It resists mould, doesn’t absorb water, and won’t start falling apart in a matter of months. Plus, it comes straight from the earth and can return to it naturally, unlike synthetic materials that pollute the planet.
By choosing cork, you're avoiding yet another plastic product. It's sustainable, biodegradable, and better for the environment.
#3 BRING A REAL FOREST INTO YOUR TERRARIUM
Cork branches aren’t just designed to look natural—they ARE natural. Their unique textures and uneven shapes aren’t the result of a plastic mould but real, organic growth. Place them however you like—stack them, lean them, or mix them with other natural materials.
Geckos and snakes instinctively choose cork branches over synthetic ones. The rough surface provides a better grip and feels just like the branches they would encounter in the wild. Instinct doesn’t lie.
