Besgrow Sphagnum Moss | Strand Moss

Used by Neofinetia falcata growers to wrap around the roots of the species in the classic Japanese method.

The Highest Quality

New Zealand sphagnum moss is recognised worldwide for its premium quality. In the orchid growing industry, it is renowned for having long, strong strands, great longevity, high rot resistance, and peerless water-holding capacity. The combination of long strands and high water-permeability ensures strong and healthy root development. Besgrow Spagmoss has naturally low concentrations of soluble salts, is virtually sterile and can hold up to 20 times its weight in water.

The high sterility combined with its hydroscopic characteristics make Spagmoss the first choice for the reproduction of humid, iso-thermic, reptilian environments. Spagmoss’s anti-bacterial properties naturally encourage both oviposition and shedding.

Besgrow Spagmoss is the professional’s choice for terrariums, vivariums and as a substrate for ornamental flowers, carnivorous plants, aroids and ferns. Growers can be certain that Spagmoss will deliver tangible benefits.

Naturally Sustainable & Renewable

Besgrow Spagmoss is hand-picked and naturally air dried to ensure its purity and to guarantee its remarkable water holding capacity (maximum WHC of 96%). The moss retains water easily and translocates nutrients effortlessly for timely release to the plant without accumulating unwanted soluble salts; management costs decrease and plant health improves.

All Besgrow Spagmoss is harvested from sustainable and renewable wetlands on the pristine West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. This means you can be confident that the highest quality Besgrow Spagmoss will always be available for you and for your plants without damaging our children’s natural wetlands.
