This 3kg bale of dried Sphagnum Moss is a premium natural moss that expands significantly when hydrated, giving you a generous amount to work with. It is soft, lightweight, and highly absorbent, making it a favourite for orchids, aroids, carnivorous plants, kokedamas, terrariums, and propagation projects. One bale goes a surprisingly long way—your plants certainly won't complain.
Care requirements
Before use, soak the dried moss in clean water until fully rehydrated, then gently squeeze out excess moisture. Sphagnum Moss retains water exceptionally well while still allowing air to reach plant roots, helping create the ideal balance between moisture and airflow. Store any unused dry moss in a cool, dry place to keep it in excellent condition.
Troubleshooting
If the moss develops an unpleasant smell, it is usually staying too wet for too long or has poor airflow. If it dries out completely during use, simply rehydrate it with water. Replace the moss when it begins to break down or compact, as older moss becomes less effective at retaining moisture and providing aeration.
Pet and reptile safety
Natural dried Sphagnum Moss is generally considered safe for use around most reptiles and is widely used in humid hides, vivariums, and bioactive enclosures. It is also non-toxic to cats and dogs. Although safe, it should not be eaten, and pets or reptiles should always have access to fresh drinking water rather than relying on moisture from the moss.
