This is for 20 pounds of virgin cork bark, seller’s choice. Buying in bulk is a great way to save some money if you are looking to do several tanks, or are creative enough to be able to work with whatever you receive!
The virgin cork bark that Glass Box Tropicals offers are all from the Cork Oak (Quercus suber). It is grown and harvested in Portugal where these trees thrive. This bark is called virgin cork bark because it is from the first harvest of the trees. Approximately every 7 years, they are able to harvest the bark from these trees again. The following harvests provide a cleaner bark which is typically used in making cork boards, wine corks, clothing, and many other items.
Virgin cork bark is an excellent choice for terrarium use due to its ability to withstand high humidity environments. The virgin cork bark is able to withstand almost constant saturation with very little, if any, decay occurring. Also, due to the appearance, it is favored by many terrarium builders because it provides a more naturalistic appearance to backgrounds and other hardscapes in a terrarium.
Virgin cork bark flats are most commonly used for creating custom backgrounds, building ledges, or used to hold back substrate around a water feature. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!
