Sphagnum moss

Sphagnum moss is widely used in gardening, terrariums, and orchid cultivation due to its excellent water retention and aeration properties. Here’s how to properly care for it:

Watering

• Keep sphagnum moss moist but not soaking wet. It should feel damp to the touch.
• Use distilled, rainwater, or dechlorinated water to prevent mineral buildup.
• If it dries out, soak it in water until fully rehydrated before use.

Rejuvenation & Growth

• Live sphagnum moss can regenerate if given moisture, humidity, and light.
• Place it in a shallow tray with water and indirect light to encourage growth.

Storage of Dry Moss

• Store dried sphagnum moss in a cool, dry place inside an airtight container.
• Rehydrate before use by soaking in water for 15-30 minutes.
