The acidity of carbonized cork board is PH4~5 which prevents dryness of the soil and lets rootlets to grow well.
Temperature: The plants growing on the ground need their root to be grown and go down under 10cm ( 4inches) from the surface of the ground to not freeze, but the root won’t freeze on our boards even though root is planted and grows into only 7.5cm (3inches).
Tropical plants 25~35℃ (77-95 degrees Fahrenheit), temperate plants 15~25℃ (59- 77degrees Fahrenheit), polar plants 10~20℃ (50-68 degrees faherenheit) is recommended)

No at all. But you will if you follow our Cortiça 8 planting and watering instructions.
The best way to tell if your plants need water is to touch with your finger if the Sphagnum moss is wet/dump, and if it feels dry, it’s time to water the plants. Depending on the type of plants and hanging location, we think that every 10 days is about the right time interval to nurture and water your plants.
Please follow / watch our watering instructions for the Cortiça 8 planter in our website video section.
We recommend soaking the plants in their pods for about 10 minutes, approximate every 10 days. Our Sphagnum moss absorbs and retains any water that comes within reach therefore, water will be transferred from the bottom, all the way to the top of the pod, providing full hydration and enough moist for the next 10 days or so.
For watering instructions please watch our quick watering tips video.
