Cork Bark is used in many terrariums and bio-active setups due to its high resistance to water & the affects of decomposition. It's a 100% organic and environmentally sustainable item with a low impact on the environment. Cork bark is harvested from Cork Oak trees every 7 years. Harvesting of the bark causes no harm to the health or growth of the tree itself. Cork tubes are taken from trees that have already died and rotted over time creating a soft inner layer that is easily removable while cork flat pieces are peeled off the tree one strip at a time. Cork tubes are comparatively more expensive because the tree must already have rotted on the inside for a considerable amount of time before being able to slide off the tubes. All our cork bark is heat treated for the safety of enclosures and inhabitants.

Grape Wood is a natural wood and comes as an unfinished natural looking thick vine. It has a dark brown scabby bark that grows on the outside and multiple branches on each piece creating an exotic feel in terrarium and vivarium setups. Grape wood does decompose in high humidity setups and isn't a substitute for the longer lasting Cork bark and Mopani wood but does have a comparatively cheaper price for those who want to have naturally decomposing wood in their setup. Ideal for bio-active dart frog setups that use Isopods.

Cypress Mulch is a mulch made from Pond Cypress Trees consisting of both the bark and wood of the tree. It's used as a substrate in many terrarium setups. As the cypress mulch decomposes it adds a nutrients to the soil while still keeping it cool and aiding it in retaining moisture in hot environments. Cypress mulch is a 100% organic product.

Melaleuca trees are an invasive species in Florida and are a great replacement to cypress mulch. Melaleuca mulch consists of both the bark and the wood of the tree. As Melaleuca is an invasive species in Florida it's much more environmentally sustainable than cypress which is being over farmed. Melaleuca mulch is actually much better for most bio-active and vivarium setups as it retains moisture for much, much longer while also adding nutrients to the soil and increasing humidity. Melaleuca mulch is a 100% organic product.

After the dormant moss is kept constantly damp for a few months it will begin to come back to life. Sphagnum moss is a great choice for most bio-active setups and vivariums. Sphagnum moss encourages a naturally anti-bacterial environment, lowers pH levels and slows the decaying process making it the ideal choice for moss used in bio-active setups.
