Legigo 3.5oz Premium Sphagnum Moss Potting Mix- 4 QT Natural Succulent Carnivorous Plants Moss Dried, Plant Growing Medium for Orchid Succulent Sarracenia Orchid Gardening Plants Reptiles

It expands a ton when rehydrated, and has worked great in my moss poles. Plants are happy, so I am too. I built 3 medium moss poles and set up a few small propagation boxes and Ive only used about half of the moss!

This moss is of very good quality. My orchid was beginning to die because I only had this orchid potting mix that only came with bark, coal, and something else that is white, but it said that it was for the phaleonepsis orchid and all I needed. Well since purchasing this, I mixed it with that potting mix and also wrapped some of this moss around the roots of the orchid and repotted, it is growing a lot faster now. I am hoping that it will flower again soon!

All my hair fell out. I was heart broken. Then I discovered sphagnum. Works like a charm, no one can even tell it’s not my real hair. Will do my armpits next

Decent if you need some moss but I’d definitely get it from Lowe’s or Home Depot as I usually do next time. It came super compressed and took some time to shred up and also not the best quality but for the price I suppose that’s to be expected.

Purchased the 3.3 lb block. As far as sphagnum goes, I've purchased a brand that came in a 1.2 lb block. One that came in a 2.2 lb block, same brand as this, as well as this; 3.3 lb block. The original block, different brand, was excellent. Long fibers, low bits and pieces good color and fluffy. Of this brand the 2.2 lb bale came in a 15-in (ish) by 15 in (ish) by 6-8" block. This bale, containing 10 or so more quarts and another lb of sphagnum is actually compressed to less than half of the size of that. The block itself was probably 8x8x10 or something, going off memory. The benefit to the 2.2 lb block, it wasn't overly compressed so it was easy to pull moss off in sheets About a quarter of that block would do three to four of the moss poles I do. When naturally decompressed, it would fluff easily and remain in Long fibers. It DID have quite a lot of the smaller bits, many more than previous. I just use those in my mixes that need high water retention. It had a good smell but did have several sticks and pieces of plastic twine. I would recommend it. At time of writing originally, I had not broken into this one yet, but since editing, but it appears VERY compressed. It's not necessarily true the first block I bought was fairly compressed as well, not as compressed as this but it was more compressed in the previous block, and that block actually had less of the little bits and the broken strands then the block of this brand, That was less compacted. All in all, the fibers were all average at least three plus inches, so I think it worked out. It does compress a bit more than the previous batch. I don't like to use the little bits as they will come out through the holes in the moss pole, so I tend to kind of wad them in with the longer strands and stuff then in the middle, or again, use in soil. I've actually used all the block now, and am getting more. When allowed to expand, there is physically more sphagnum there, but it's not as fluffy, and it has more fines and broken stuff. I'm torn. I don't know if the increase makes up for it, and since the stuff is a bit finer., It'll compact a bit more, and is easier to over pack the poles, but not a lot, so in the end you really still only get a bit more. I have started adding bark to my moss poles to add something hard for roots to wrap into and onto, that takes up space and helps airate. Now I see they have a 4.4 lb block. I'm worried it's just as compressed. When you over compress this stuff you lose volume. It gets smaller and packs more.

So much moss!! Perfect for repotting my orchids and saving little cuttings!

Out of 2 purchases one was great, one was clearly very moldy before it was dried - had to soak it in peroxide before use

Great if you have a lot of plants that need moss. I have carnivorous, and I like to change moss frequently
