Premium New Zealand Sphagnum Moss, 150g (12L Hydrated) - Sustainably Harvested from South Island

Spagmoss Production: A Sustainable Harvest from New Zealand's Pristine Wetlands

Deep within the pristine environment of New Zealand's South Island, water flows from the Southern Alps, feeding the natural habitat of Sphagnum moss. From this untouched landscape, Besgrow harvests Sphagnum cristatum and Sphagnum subnitens to produce their high-quality Spagmoss products.

The labour-intensive process begins with the careful hand-picking of the moss from dedicated Sphagnum farming swamps. After being extracted by helicopter, the moss is transported to Coastpak, where the second phase of processing commences. Besgrow offers a diverse range of Spagmoss products to cater to the needs of their customers in the orchid growing, floristry, and landscaping industries.

New Zealand Sphagnum moss is renowned for its exceptional natural properties, including its longevity and remarkable water-holding capacity. Spagmoss is widely used by both commercial and hobby growers for cultivating various orchid species, as a decorative enhancement, for assisting with young plant growth, by carnivorous plant growers, as reptile bedding, and as an additive to increase water retention in other substrates.

To ensure the highest quality Spagmoss products, Besgrow has implemented stringent quality control procedures throughout the production process. The Sphagnum moss is continuously monitored to meet their exacting standards. As the Spagmoss is harvested from carefully managed, sustainable swamps, customers can be confident in the reliable availability of Besgrow's products.

Besgrow's Spagmoss is naturally air-dried to preserve the optimal quality of the moss. It then undergoes a series of cleaning techniques, both mechanical and manual, to remove any contamination. The cleaned moss is then packed into various sizes for shipment worldwide.

Spagmoss is a 100% natural and renewable resource, hand-picked and air-dried, with minimal foreign material and no chemicals or additives. Its exceptional characteristics include a pH of 4.8, an EC of 0.2 mS/cm, an AFP of approximately 55% when loose, and a remarkable water-holding capacity of up to 20 times its weight. These qualities, along with the moss's long and strong strands, make Spagmoss an ideal choice for growing a variety of plants, including orchids and other moisture-loving species, as well as providing a suitable environment for reptiles.

Besgrow's commitment to sustainability ensures that their Spagmoss products are harvested from renewable wetlands, allowing customers to have confidence in the continuous availability of this premium-quality moss, both now and in the future.
