DECORATION: The soft, light, pliable form of sphagnum moss makes it a popular choice for lining hanging baskets or for using to create and hold the shape when making up succulent wreaths or other frame built floral displays.

USES: Ideal for creating terrariums, repotting orchids or for live plant displays. Sphagnum moss has been used for the cultivation of orchids for many years, both for garden and room orchids. Sphagnum moss is an important component of orchid soil. It retains enormous amounts of water and provides the orchids roots constantly and evenly with moisture. It has sterilising properties and hinders growth of putrid (rotting) bacteria due to its antiseptic effect.

CARE: Very low maintenance, spray with water when dry. Make sure that the moss stays moist or wet at all times. Don`t put it in direct sunlight, it could burn the tips. If you store it in an air-tight container, the moss will stay moist and has to be watered less frequently.

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIEVE: You will receive a 5kg bag of Sphagnum Moss that is harvested from sustainable sources.

Watering

Moss must be kept damp at all times, otherwise it soon gets brown and crispy and despite being fairly hardy, it will eventually die. If you can use rainwater to keep your moss moist, it will really appreciate the extra nutrients that rainwater offers. In a terrarium setting, if kept properly, it will not need watering as a terrarium environment should keep damp at all times. If outdoors, you will only need to check it every few days to make sure it’s still moist – more often in the summer.

Best Growing Conditions

Moss needs to be kept out of direct sunlight, in a nice damp area and away from strong winds, draughts or radiators. This is what makes it so great for terrarium building – it loves the humidity. It can be left outside all year if you are using in your garden, but needs to be protected from full sun, hard frost and snow.
