Cork Log (F) WYSIWYG

Description

Cork Log (F) WYSIWYG approx. 20 × 20 cm is a unique natural cork piece selected for its shape, texture and versatility in terrarium layouts. The WYSIWYG – What You See Is What You Get principle guarantees that the exact piece shown in the photographs is the one you will receive.

With its compact dimensions of approximately 20 × 20 cm, this cork log is particularly easy to integrate into small or medium-sized terrariums. It can be used whole as a hide, short tunnel, climbing structure or planted feature, used to conceal a small plant pot, or cut lengthwise to create two separate half-logs.

Material

Natural cork.

Size

Approximately 20 × 20 cm.

Unique WYSIWYG piece

This listing corresponds to a unique piece identified as (F).

The photographs are contractual: you will receive the exact cork log shown, including its individual shape, opening, texture, relief and natural irregularities.

Natural appearance

Cork naturally develops a deeply textured, cracked and irregular surface that closely resembles a genuine section of tree trunk.

Its natural tones and relief blend easily with substrate, leaf litter, mosses, roots, stones and tropical vegetation.

Terrarium use

The cork log can be placed directly on the substrate to create a small hide or natural tunnel, wedged between roots and rocks, or positioned slightly higher to add relief to the enclosure.

Its compact size makes it particularly easy to use in foreground or midground areas without occupying excessive space.

Natural plant-pot cover

The hollow shape allows a small plant pot to be placed inside the cork log, partially or completely concealing the container and creating the impression that the plant is growing naturally from the wood.

This makes watering, maintenance and replacement easier while preserving a highly natural appearance.

Create two cork tunnels

The cork log can also be cut lengthwise to create two separate half-logs.

Each half can then be used as a small hide, tunnel or decorative relief placed directly on the substrate or against a terrarium wall.

This allows a single cork piece to provide two separate decorative elements.

Tropical terrarium use

In humid tropical terrariums, cork provides an excellent natural surface for vegetation. Its cracks and irregular texture offer numerous attachment points for mosses, small bromeliads, epiphytic orchids, ferns and creeping plants.

Natural cork performs particularly well in humid environments when adequate ventilation is maintained.

Plant support

Its naturally rough surface makes it easy to attach epiphytic and climbing plants.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Small Neoregelia
• Tillandsia
• Small epiphytic orchids
• Marcgravia
• Small climbing aroids
• Compact ferns
• Tropical mosses

Bioactive terrarium use

The natural cracks, cavities and surface relief increase structural complexity and create small shaded areas, pathways and hiding places.

Combined with leaf litter, mosses and living substrate, cork contributes to a more natural environment and provides additional surfaces for terrarium microfauna.

Installation

The cork log can be placed directly on the substrate, partially buried, wedged between other natural elements or secured against a terrarium wall depending on the desired layout.

Its compact format also makes it easy to combine with additional roots, cork panels or stones to create a more complex structure.

Preparation before use

Before installation, lightly brush the cork and rinse with clean water if required to remove loose dust and particles.

Do not use detergents, household cleaning products or chemical disinfectants.

Why choose this WYSIWYG cork log?

The WYSIWYG format allows you to select the exact piece that will become part of your display. You receive precisely the cork log shown in the photographs, including its individual shape, opening and texture.

At approximately 20 × 20 cm, piece (F) is highly versatile: small hide, natural tunnel, planted support, plant-pot cover or two separate half-logs after cutting.

JungleBox advice

Try several orientations before permanent installation. Positioned horizontally, the log creates a small natural hide; angled slightly, it adds depth and relief; used as a plant-pot cover, it allows a potted plant to blend much more naturally into the display.

For an even more natural appearance, attach small mosses or epiphytic plants to selected cracks while leaving some of the cork visible.
