New Zealand Sphagnum moss is recognizedworldwide as a premium product in the orchid growing industry. Besgrow Spagmossis naturally air dried to ensure a maximumWater Holding Capacity(WHC) of 96%. This allows the moss to retain water andnutrientsfor easy release to the plant withoutaccumulating unwanted salts.
Spagmoss maintains its structure in the potfor several years, therefore costs associated with re-potting are reduced.
Due to its sterile nature, Spagmoss willalso defend against plant pathogens from attacking the roots.
We ensure Spagmoss grades are of consistentquality with good color and minimal contamination.
Spagmoss is produced from two sphagnumspecies, Sphagnum cristatum and Sphagnum subnitens.
Sphagnum cristatumis the most commonvariety harvested in New Zealand; it has a much larger leaf and stemstructure than other moss types giving itstronger and more robust growing properties.
The longer length allows the mossto be wrappedaround roots easily and the strongstructure ensures the moss will not become over-compressed in the pot providingthe plants with a high Air Filled Porosity (AFP).Sphagnum subnitenshave a finer appearanceand structure with a smaller leaf giving it a feathery feel.The softness of this variety allows themoss to be wrapped easily around the roots of very juvenile orchids.It is less robust than Sphagnum cristatummeaning it can be compacted tighter in the pot for lower AFP requirements.Spagmoss is predominantly bought by ourclients for the following uses:>/font>>/b>Pot toppers - to top out plant pots to keepthe water in the pot and prevent water evaporation; and to add to appearanceHanging baskets - sphagnum holds up to 20times its own weight in water & is ideal for this purposeWreaths - again the water retentionprovides the base for live plants to surviveOrchids - for potting orchids, sphagnummoss provides acid Ph as wellCarniverous plants - again like theconditions sphagnum moss providesFloral arrangements - moss makes a naturalbase for your flowers and used on top of oasis, provides increased waterretention and eye appealAir plants - although they don't need soil,they do need water and a humid atmosphere provided by the mossBog gardens - live sphagnum provides waterretention, acidic Ph, a natural appearanceReptile housing - giving an area invivariums for reptiles to get the moisture they need for skin shedding& variety in the housing; provideshumidity when kept moist under heat lampsAmphibian housing - again these pets needmoisture and humidity to thriveGiant Land Snails - love sphagnum moss andthe environment it creates
