besgrow Premium New Zealand Sphagnum Moss, 100g (8L When Hydrated) - Harvested Sustainably from The Pristine West Coast of New Zealand's South Island

I never leave reviews, but there's some confusion on just how much moss you get in a package so I wanted to clear that up with pictures. I can't figure out how to upload pics tho. So I'll be descriptive instead. This is for the 100 gram package. I'll also say up front: This is my first sphagnum moss and I haven't planted anything yet, but the quality seems incredible. The strands are long and strong and resilient, the color is nice, and I expected there to be lots of dust and broken bits in the water after expansion. But there weren't really. So the amounts. When I opened the envelope I didn't expect it to be my moss... so tiny! Like a small paperback. Think Great Gatsby? The thinness seemed like a scam. Then I dipped it in water and was amazed how much bigger it got. Started feeling pretty good about the deal. And also it made an entertaining shape, but that's not interesting without a picture. By then my bowl of water had been almost completely absorbed, so I filled it back up and left the moss the soak for 10 minutes. When I came back, holy moly. It was huge. And instead of a tightly woven brick, it was a nice pliable mass that held itself together, but you could work a chunk out without tearing a ton of strands as well. In the end, this moss just about fills a gallon ziplock when it's good and hydrated. Not like stuffed to the brim - it fit well but the bag looks full. So that's how much moss you get in the 100g package. Almost a gallon. Enjoy!

This is the first time using this type of packaging and the highly condensed spag moss but once added to filtered water it came to life! It literally came to life in my plant bins. Honestly I use this on my reptiles & plants and this is superior to others imo. Will continue to buy this.

After a lot of research across the Net, Sphagnum moss is the method and the moss experienced orchid growers recommend to those of us without experience for repotting our orchids. I started out by bringing a large bowl of water to a boil then dropping a chunk of the spagmoss brick into the bowl. I gently separated the strands with a fork as it grew. You can probably skip boiling the water, one of the things I learned is there are microscopic organisms that can survive the drying process, if you are immune compromised or have lung disease you are susceptible to this infection either by inhaling or if it enters your system through a small cut. They recommend gloves, soaking in boiling water and taking care not to inhale the particles in the moss dust. I left the moss in the water overnight to insure it was cooled completely and proceeded from there. I love the nice, clean look of the new moss that can be seen on top of the planter. My orchid looks happy in her new home. I am very satisfied with this purchase and I would recommend you try Spagmoss if it is time to repot your lovely plant. If you only have one or two orchids you probably don’t want to store a big bale of moss. By purchasing this small brick you only re-wet the amount you plan on using. Just a little goes a long way and you always have fresh moss on hand. Store the brick in the wrapper it came in, in an air tight storage bag or Tupperware type container.

This is my favorite sphagnum moss. It does still have some sticks but the quality is light years better than most other brands. It didn’t stink either which was great.

I propogate Golden Pothos from my giant mother plant. This the best medium for my chop and prop projects

I was shocked at the wallet size package, but I know it expands pretty well. This is the high end moss meant for dart frogs and such. If you're making moss poles, get the other spagnum moss..it's cheaper and goes a long way.

I wasn’t sure if it was worth the money, but it is a beautiful fine no sticks in it. I think to use in a moss pole you can buy a cheaper brand, but if you’re using it as the top of a arrangement or a display, it’s perfect

I only received 80 grams worth and I ordered the 100 grams. Don't know if this is always the case or I just got shorted as this was my first order. If appropriate amount is received I would give it 4 stars. It is better quality than others but not as good a quality as, well at least one other brand I know of. For the quality I received with many sticks and twigs in it, it is a tad overpriced. I still might order one more time in the future to see if my batch was a fluke.

Good quality sphagnum moss.

It's very high quality sphagnum moss.. Not alot of debris or hard bits in it and mostly long strands. I can't believe how much it expands when put into water! Highly suggest this brand! It's extremely easy to use and one of the less messy brands as theirs not a ton of tiny pieces falling everywhere! I Havnt noticed a difference in less or more moisture retention but I figure they're all the same !

Good

Yes, the package, itself is small, but once you rehydrate it, there is a LOT of lovely moss. There isn't even a hint of unpleasant smell. There is very little extraneous material in it. I am going to try to get some of it growing, again. I will update, in a few months. Very happy with it, as it is, but being able to revive it, would be icing on the cake.

It's a very good product
