💡 Tips for Best Results:
Pre-soak the moss in warm water before use to fully re-hydrate and fluff fibers. Lightly pack around orchid roots — avoid compressing too tightly. Keep moss consistently moist but not soggy. Flush occasionally with fresh water to maintain a balanced pH. Re-pot every 1–2 years or when moss begins to break down.
