To my knowledge no its not. If you would like, I have a few botanist friends
that I can ask for confirmation...

Question for the group:

Considering all of the growing media variants out there, how many of
those
materials actually support orchids in the wild?


Cork Oak bark No
- Yes for the Australian Native Cork and some Sarco species and other
small
epiphytes. I actually have used many this as a mount many times as I find
it
lasts well and seems to support the small plants well.

Completely and utterly off topic but...
Is the Australian Native Cork of the Quercus genus at all?
