TERRARIUM
Cork by the Pound
CORK
Our virgin cork 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 as it is non-toxic, 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’ve purchased plants and bulk cork slabs from Tropiflora, and always been pleased with the price, quality, and friendly service! Items are packaged perfectly to arrive in good condition and shipped quickly!
I purchased 5 pounds and received 2 large beautiful slabs and a couple of small pieces. Would definitely buy again!

Neoregelia 'Guacamole' (P)
8753
A colorful, upright growing hybrid of unreported parentage. A smallish plant to only about ten inches across with leaves of 1.25 inches wide in an upright rosette. Brightly colored red with chartreuse spots and bands over fully 50% of the plant. Leaves have a thick texture and are quite stiff. Although we do not know the parentage, it looks to us like it may have ‘Hannibal Lector’ in its background.
Neoregelia 'Superball'
1254
A Neo. ‘Fireball‘ x carolinae ‘Dwarf’ hybrid, at about 10 inches is larger than the original ‘Fireball’, and flushes a nice red in strong light. Good in terrariums and its stoloniferous habit makes this a particularly good subject for hanging basket culture. Popular with landscapers.
