Cork Bark Natural Hardscape for Aquariums, Terrariums, and Bioactive Enclosures

Description:
Our Cork Bark is a premium, sustainably harvested natural product ideal for building realistic, functional habitats. Lightweight, rot-resistant, and beautifully textured, cork bark is a versatile choice for terrariums, paludariums, vivariums, and some specialized aquarium setups.

Its natural curves and crevices create a dynamic hardscape that supports both plant growth and animal enrichment.

Key Features:

• Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Harvested from cork oak trees (without harming them), making it a renewable and environmentally conscious choice.

• Perfect for Reptiles & Amphibians Provides excellent basking ledges, hiding tunnels, and climbing surfaces for species like geckos, frogs, skinks, and snakes.

• Water-Resistant & Mold-Resistant Naturally resists decay in high-humidity environments, making it suitable for long-term use in paludariums and vivariums.

• Great for Plants Ideal for mounting epiphytes such as mosses, orchids, bromeliads, Anubias, and Bucephalandra.

• Customizable Can be easily cut, drilled, or silicone-mounted to build backgrounds, ledges, or overhangs.

Usage Guidelines:

• Terrariums/Vivariums: Use as wall decor, shelters, or arboreal platforms. Secure vertically or lay flat for natural ground cover.

• Paludariums: Create seamless transitions between land and water zones while providing planting surfaces.

• Aquariums: Use with caution. While cork bark is buoyant and can leach tannins, it can be used creatively in emergent or rimless setups where it stays partially above water. Always boil or soak thoroughly before submerging to reduce tannin release and floating.
