Cork by the Pound
CORK
Our slabs are flat and vary in size from about 6 inches to over 12 inches wide and 12 to 30 inches long. Thickness varies from about a half inch to two inches with the majority being in between those numbers.
To get an idea of size to weight, you can figure roughly a square foot per pound, rarely under that, usually over. This material is widely touted to be the best and most durable substrate for mounting epiphytic plants; resisting rot and pests and lasting for many years under greenhouse conditions. The upper surface is rough and craggy and the underside, harder and fairly smooth. Great for use in terrariums or cages and useful as a decorative background to display jewelry or other objects.
This product is harvested sustainably in Portugal from Quercus suber, the cork oak, and it’s main use is for bottle stoppers and shoe soles. This is a completely natural product. Easily broken into any size needed and can be ‘drilled’ with an awl or ice pick.
Quantity is sold by the pound.




I purchased 5 pounds and received 2 large beautiful slabs and a couple of small pieces. Would definitely buy again!

Euphorbia species nova Tanzania
8025
THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
This is a new but as yet taxonomically undescribed species from Tanzania. Collected by Mike Massara, it is a tall shrub, at least in our collection, with small, deciduous leaves. It apparently forms a pachycaul trunk in time. Not much information for sure, but then it's all that we know.






Haworthia chloracantha
6542




Haworthia venosa ssp tesselata
3650
Definitely an unusual species, with few but thickly succulent leaves in a compact rosette. A neat 'windowed' species with a background color of dark green, tinted reddish, turning darker red in bright light and the leaf surface is patterned with gold tessellations. Flaring white and greenish-brown striped flowers appear on a tall arching scape that can reach over three feet! In nature, this species often grows under shrubs, sending it's inflorescence up through the foliage into the view of pollinators.






Hechtia lanata
3791
Long known as Hechtia species Huamelula, this rare and beautiful species has been around for about thirty years but never common. It lives only very high on cliff faces in Huamelula Canyon of Oaxaca, Mexico where it is rare and difficult to access. The plants form rosettes up to 15 inches or more across with very broad, heavily scurffed, thickly succulent leaves that recurve at the tips. Very large marginal spines give the leaf margins a scalloped look. Now newly described as H. lanata. A slow grower that is very seldom available.
