One of the main advantages of Sphagnum moss is its ability to retain large amounts of water while maintaining an airy structure. This allows the growing medium to stay moist for longer while ensuring that the roots receive sufficient oxygen.
Sphagnum moss can be used on its own as a growing medium for germinating many tropical seeds. It keeps the seeds evenly moist while providing an airy environment, reducing the risk of oxygen deprivation. Sphagnum moss can also be a valuable addition when growing young seedlings and many of our pre-germinated seeds.
Adding a small amount of Sphagnum can also help a well-draining, airy potting mix retain moisture for longer. This is particularly beneficial for moisture-loving tropical plants, such as Alocasia species. In larger quantities, Sphagnum is often used for epiphytes, which require an airy growing medium with a good moisture balance. Epiphytes are plants that grow on other plants or objects without parasitising them. In their natural environment, they often grow in places where water drains away quickly and their roots have plenty of access to air.
This high-quality Sphagnum moss is sustainably harvested from wetlands along the west coast of New Zealand's South Island. The moss is collected by hand, allowing the vegetation to regenerate naturally between harvests.
Besgrow compresses this moss into convenient 100-gram blocks. Add at least 1.5 litres of water per block and allow it to soak for a few minutes. Then squeeze out any excess water until the moss feels moist but no longer wet. A 100-gram block expands to approximately 8 litres of moss. Need less? Simply break off the desired amount and add water.
