Sphagnum moss has been used for centuries by horticulturists to help maintain healthy root systems and provide a species-appropriate environment for their plants and animals. The compressibility of this organic material makes it an excellent option in aquariums, terrariums and any other enclosure that requires water retention.

Sphagnum is the most absorbent moss in the world. With its unique properties of retaining 20 times its weight in water, sphagnum has become an indispensable gardening tool in the propagation and beautification process.

This very clean premium compressed sphagnum moss has long, thick fibers for excellent water retention. Use for fantastic root growth, alone or in a mix. Compressed block expands to hold 20 times its weight in water.

Preparation of Sphagnum: Place sphagnum in a container of water and allow moss to swell and re-hydrate completely. Using warm water can speed the process up.

IMPORTANT: The tighter the moss is packed, the less water it holds. If the sphagnum is packed too tightly, it will shed water faster. Never allow the moss to dry out completely. The continuously moist moss medium provides a convenient and beneficial source of constant humidity to the young plant.

Sphagnum Moss is preferred over any other type of moss for terrarium use due to its unique softness and amazing moisture-holding ability. Harvested using sustainable methods to ensure that it will be around for future generations. Moss is great for most species of frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, invertebrates, and small snakes.
