so you might already gues what im going to ask, do you have any idea how to get rid of woodworm?

i suppose that everyone who uses wood will sooner or later bumb into these things right?

Sorry, I have no idea how to get rid of those, but make sure your piece of wood is somewhat water resistant.

got aquarium wood so i have no problems with the water resistance :p

i let it soak in water for a few hours and put it outside (will have freezing temps of around -10C for the next few days) so that must be enough to kill the woodworms, if there were any to begin with.

Oops... dbl post.

Do you have to use the Cork wood, or could you use just a piece of wood like a Pecan wood?? Or maybe Mulberry or Almond wood?
I would love to try growing an Orchid! Just a little intimidated. Hubby says if I can learn how to grow them he'll be happy to buy me some!
