Virgin Cork

Virgin cork is the cork bark that comes from the cork tree the first time it is taken from the tree when it is 30 years old. It is too rough and irregular to be used for cork stoppers. It is light weight, rot resistant, non-toxic, soft and buoyant. Virgin cork is an environmentally and ecologically friendly renewable product.

Virgin cork bark is a great medium for mounting orchids or any plant that needs epiphytic-like conditions. It is a natural product, so each piece is unique.

Virgin cork can be used for terrariums and reptile habitats; the cork tubes make an ideal area for frogs, reptiles, snakes, lizards and other animals to have a safe place for sleeping, resting of hiding.

Zoos around the world use virgin cork bark to create safe habitats. Taxidermists use thick cork bark to mount small animals.

We also have decorative virgin cork panels.
