Natural Sphagnum Moss Masso 5 L

The Masso natural sphagnum moss is a highly absorbent plant moss used as a growing medium for orchids, carnivorous plants and epiphytic plants. Thanks to its airy and fibrous structure, it promotes root aeration while maintaining long-lasting moisture.

This sphagnum moss is particularly suitable for growing orchids, carnivorous plants, as well as for living walls, terrariums and vivariums. It can also be mixed with potting soil or pine bark to lighten the substrate and improve moisture retention.

Sphagnum acts as a true natural sponge: 1 kg of sphagnum can absorb up to 70 to 75 litres of water. Its elastic texture limits compaction and promotes healthy root development.

• Growing orchids and epiphytic plants
• Growing medium for carnivorous plants
