Sphagnum Moss | Approx. 500g
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
Sphagnum moss is a versatile plant-care essential, ideal for propagation, moisture retention and creating airy growing mixes for tropical houseplants.
Naturally absorbent while still allowing plenty of airflow around roots, it is particularly useful for rooting cuttings and propagating aroids. It can also be used around moss poles, as a moisture-retentive top dressing or mixed with other growing media to help improve water retention without making the compost overly dense.
Moisten before use if needed, then gently squeeze out excess water. Arrange loosely around cuttings or roots, avoiding tight packing. For propagation, keep the moss lightly and consistently damp rather than saturated.
Ideal For
- Propagating houseplant cuttings
- Rooting aroids and tropical plants
- Filling or maintaining moss poles
- Adding moisture retention to potting mixes
- Top dressing moisture-loving plants
Approximate Weight: 500g as supplied; moisture content varies.
Please note: As sphagnum moss is a natural product, colour, texture and moisture content may vary slightly between batches.
