Sphagnum Moss 1.2 lb for DIY Moss Pole, Great Potting Mix for Indoor Plants, Help with Maintain Humidity

I opened my Amazon box, expecting a package about 18 in. X 18 in with compressed moss. I was shocked when the package was about 8"x9"x1/2 in. or so, the size of a small notebook. I immediately thought I got hugely ripped off, but I tore off about a 3"x3" hunk and put it in a med. size bowl of water. It sucked up the water like nobody's business and filled the bowl with moss. I continued with this process with a bigger bucket until it was all soaked, and it actually filled almost a 5 gallon bucket of the cleanest, most beautiful moss I had ever seen. No sticks, no bark, nothing but super clean moss. I HIGHLY recommend this product if you are willing to spend a few minutes of your time decompressing it. It's totally worth it!

It came really flat like a big piece of cardboard this time and it was kind of amusing. But just break a hunk off and it always fluffs right up into the same great top quality sphagnum that works great with my tropicals. It’s super easy and quick to hydrate and roots love it. This is my preferred brand and I find it to be a good value.

It's exactly what it says it is. I will definitely buy again when I need more

Love how compact it is so its easy to store, not messy and when its soaked in water it expands SO much! I use this in my tarantula enclosures that require a little more humidity. I just break off a little, soak it for a sec, squeeze out excess water and then mix it in their soil and it helps keep the humidity up.

When mounting our smaller staghorns, we used this sphagnum moss. It has worked well in supporting root growth and filled the basket mounted on wood.

I've purchased my fair share of moss in the past. This recent one is by far my favorite! This tiny compressed package makes heaps moss. I broke off about a 3rd of this wafer and have a bucket full of moss! It has an earthy scent, fluffy and long strands and is very clean and attractive. I have added this to my shopping list so I remember this is the one for me! Awesome product!

This worked really well. There was no trash or anything in the moss. Other reviews said it grew mold, so I just sterilized it in the pressure cooker on high for 30 minutes. No mold has grown on the moss and it made 4 moss poles.

Tried 4 different brands. This was by far the best.

The 1.2lb option for this item is the best deal for sphagnum moss I've been able to find on Amazon, or elsewhere in Canada when you factor in shipping and quality. I have now ordered this twice to make moss poles and to propogate plants. It is high quality, free of sticks and twigs, and a good size for plant use. This comes as a dehydrated brick so when it arrives, don't be alarmed at how small the package seems. Once you soak it in water it will expand hugely.

Lots of volume, great product, great price

A good way to package the moss. Way more than I thought at first glance. I was also able to activate it when I added water. You need to recreate a soggy bog which is where it grows.

When this arrived, it was the size of a CD case - I was worried I didn't get enough. I placed it in a bowl of warm water and it grew exponentially. There was lots for re-potting my few orchids, and enough left over to do at least 3 more! Excellent quality too!

I was surprised how much moss they're actually was! It came in a compressed square and I wasn't sure if I would have enough for what I required it for however, once I added water it turned out to be a lot! The only drawback was the smell! It is not pleasant but I found that it is subsided a bit. Sort of smells like when you walk into a pet store. That smell that overcomes you now I know pet stores smell like that because of the reptiles that they keep which they use the sphagnum Moss for. Makes sense. I did have to put the bag outside because it was just overcoming my entire apartment but other than the smell it worked great!
