New Zealand Sphagnum Moss Grade AA+ 100 grams for Orchids, Tropical Plants, and Terrariums

New Zealand Grade Sphagnum Moss is the best moss for your orchids, tropical plants, and terrarium! NZ Sphagnum Moss has many characteristics which help your plants grow their best. It retains many times its weight in water, keeping the roots of your plant moist. (You can chop up sphagnum and mix it with other kinds of media to customize the moisture retention for your plants. More moss in the mix means more moisture retention.) NZ Sphagnum Moss is also very springy, which allows it to create pockets of air space in the root zone, critical for growing many types of orchids. Epiphytic orchids in the wild get this kind of aeration at the root zone naturally. NZ Sphagnum Moss in a pot helps to recreate that kind of optimal aeration for excellent root growth. Healthy roots = healthy plants! The antimicrobial properties of NZ Sphagnum Moss also reduce the risk of infections to your plants (in fact, in WW I, sphagnum moss was used as bandages because of its ability to absorb liquid and its antimicrobial effect!). If your plants lose their roots, wrapping the base of the plants in the moss will help encourage recovery of roots and recovery of your plants. The long fibers of this NZ Sphagnum Moss lets you easily wrap the base of orchid plants to create excellent conditions for growing out roots. For terrarium keepers, the surface area and porosity of the moss keeps humidity high, excellent for critters and plants that need that humidity to stay healthy. This 100 gram "brick" of NZ Sphagnum Moss can fill approximately 30 2-inch square pots or approximately 10 3.5-inch square pots (lined with a layer of styrofoam peanuts for good drainage and increased aeration). New Zealand Sphagnum Moss is the best choice for your prized plants!
