Sphagnum Moss Dry

Overview

Dry Sphagnum Moss is a fibrous, neutral‑pH organic medium harvested from the upper growth of Sphagnum bogs, then dried to preserve its lightweight structure and exceptional water‑holding capacity (up to ~20× its own weight).

Key Features

• High water retention: Absorbs and holds moisture, perfect for maintaining humidity in orchid and bromeliad pots, terrariums, and vivariums .
• Neutral pH & sustainable: Made from the new growth (not peat), bio‑friendly and regenerates faster, avoiding the acidity of peat moss .
• Aesthetic & structural use: Ideal as a decorative top layer or lining for hanging baskets, planters, and substrate mixes .
• Terrarium enhancement: Serves as a moisture buffer, habitat for microfauna, and mold control—great for moss terrariums and humid vivaria .

Common Uses

• Orchid and carnivorous plant potting mix topper or medium
• Humid substrate layer in terrariums and bioactive setups
• Decorative liner for hanging baskets or plant displays
• Humidity regulator and moisture reservoir for reptiles/invertebrates
• Base layer beneath gravel or soil in aquascape-inspired paludariums (with care)

Usage Tips

1. Rinse or soak briefly before use to remove dust.
2. For moisture buffering, soak, squeeze excess water, and layer under soil or gravel.
3. In terrariums, keep consistently damp but not waterlogged.
4. Replace periodically if it begins to break down or compacts.
5. Source sustainably certified moss to align with environmental best practices .
