Premium New Zealand Sphagnum Moss, 500g (40L When Hydrated) Premier AAA Grade (150mm, 6" Strands) - Harvested in New Zealand's South Island, Dried and Long for Potted Plants, Orchids, Reptiles

Don’t be tempted to buy bargain brands because this brand is superior. It is very clean, has no unpleasant smell, and absorbs water quickly, expanding to a nice fluffy product. This brand has very few stems so you get a high moss content, and lasts for a long time without breaking down quick, which gives a great value for money! This product is very easy to use; simply tear or cut what you need and drop it in lukewarm water. Gently wring it out and you are ready to go!

It is awesome for growing nepenthes in and there is very little debris and it is odorless. It also appears to be small like you got way less than what they said but when you hydrate it really expands. It definitely looks and is sphagnum moss.

By far the best LFS I've found so far, it's the only one that isn't moldy or full of twigs. Works perfectly for carnivorous plants and orchids. This is the only brand I will buy now. It's great.

I had seen that “New Zealand” moss was the best quality because of its long fibers and lower content of sticks etc. They’re relatively easy to pick out as I use it but for the price I thought it would be close to pristine. Aside from that it’s high quality and I love that it rehydrates fairly quickly on my moss poles. Comparing to better gro it is 1000x better, doesn’t smell, and has not shown signs of algae growth in the 2-3 weeks I’ve had it.

When I decided I wanted to start incorporating moss poles into my plant care, I did a lot of research. I selected this moss based on recommendations from more experienced plant caregivers, and I am very glad I did. It’s top quality, and it’s really clean. Yes, there are a couple of small sticks here and there, but I easily pick them out and discard them. There is no odor with this moss, except a slight (and expected) plant-y fragrance that is very pleasant. I’ve dampened large quantities of it for pole building, and the unused moss dries out completely over time with no mold or odor. I feel like I lucked out because it’s the only moss I’ve ever used and it’s a great product. I’ve read so many bad things about poor quality moss. My first package was enough for the equivalent of 17 moss pole segments as well as additional non-pole stuff.
