Premium New Zealand Sphagnum Moss, 150g (12L When Hydrated) - Harvested Sustainably from The Pristine West Coast of New Zealand's South Island

I love this moss because it reliably regenerates into fresh green LIVE moss. I have a very large pinguicula collection and a few terrariums, so this "feature" is desirable and it's a sustainable option - just one pack to get started, then an endless supply of moss for more projects. For best results, rehydrate with distilled or RO water, keeping it just on the wet side of moist, and blast it with very bright light. My fastest growing batches are always the containers that sit about 6" below a 100w equivalent, 5k white LED flood light bulb. I don't even need to cover it to retain humidity. It starts greening up in about 2-3 weeks (you can tell it's regenerating because it's a more vivid green than algae is). In about a month the new first tufts are growing in and in 2-3 months it is grown out a lush layer of long fiber strands. I also find having live sphagnum in my propagation boxes is more effective - less inclined to mold and rot my cuttings and I suspect it helps with gas exchange for the cuttings' tiny baby roots.The Besgrow spagmoss in the compressed packs will not regenerate - it must be these loose bales. For some reason, I haven't been able to regenerate other brands, either. I think the vacuum and pressure for the compressed boards eliminate all living cells, while these loose bales are just dehydrated, so the cells just go dormant until rehydrated. Highly recommend for carnivorous plants, terrariums, moss poles, and top dressing for moisture-loving plants. The pics included is my ping nursery, a project I just did about a month ago for my leaf pullings. The moss was taken from a bale I got a year ago and you can see it is still able to come back.

This costs more but the quality is top notch. Other moss typically has a lot of debris and plant matter in my experience. If you use moss for climbing plants in poles or in orchid substrate you won’t regret spending a little more for this.

This is the best Orchid moss. Very clean and a little goes a long way. I only use distilled water to soak it and make sure to squeeze the weather out before I put the orchid in with it. I will purchase it again when i need more.

Much smaller than i expected but it works for what i need.

This is a very good product. I find it to be very good for my orchids. I like the quality compared to some of the cheaper cheaper brands. It is still expensive for the amount you get. This size block will do maybe one medium size basket and a small pot. It may have nothing the seller can do about that with the way everything seems to be more expensive for some reason. Would buy again .

I've purchased a few different brands of lfs, and this is by far the best. All the other that I've tried tend to crumble when dried and produce a lot of dust. This does not. I've used it for propagating many different plants and also for potting my nepenthes. You can tell it hasn't been over processed, as I have even had live moss grow from it in my pots. This is my go-to brand.

Before I bought this, I was buying spaghnum moss from a local hardware store. I had just gotten my first orchid so had no experience with the product. This moss is by far the better option. There were no bugs, mold or funky smell. There are a few sticks, but I feel like that is to be expected and it wasn't hard to pull them out and disgard them. It has lasted much better than the previous moss I used. It seemed like such a small chunk of moss when I got it, but once I started hydrating it to use it, the moss went a long way. I will definitely be buying more in the future.

I bought this for my orchids and my Ping. Hydrates beautifully and holds a lot of water. Watch your plants as they could degrade from too much water. So, be sure to squeeze it well before using.
