Gerd Adolph Sphagnum Moss is dried moss from Chile that serves as a substrate alternative for growing orchids, houseplants, and ferns. Thanks to its unique structure, it can hold up to twenty times its own weight in water, which it then gradually releases to the roots. Its composition has an antibacterial effect, protecting plants from moulds and rot-causing bacteria. The sphagnum moss is harvested by hand.

Plant protection and uses

The unique carbohydrate complexes in sphagnum moss have a natural antibacterial effect, protecting the root system from mould and rot. In addition to growing orchids and ferns, you can also use it for rooting cuttings and propagating plants. It also serves as a filler for moss poles for climbing species or as an additive to lighten and aerate standard substrates. Each pack is hand-harvested from sources in Chile.
