Fake cork is the synthetic stopper that some producers are using to replace real cork. It's cheaper than real cork and avoids cork taint that bitter, rancid taste that sometimes happens wuth real cork. Thus the term "corked" wine or a "corked" bottle. I use it with orchids but wouldn't add a synthetic to the garden.

A frame chopper is something like a manual paper cutter. It's used to make exact cuts for picture frame moldings.

I took a few photos of the 'chids in cork. The last one is course perlite and cork. The only downside is plastic pots tip easily so they go into terracotta as well.
