New Zealand Sphagnum Moss
Premium Orchid Media • Moisture Retention • Root Support
Hand-harvested from sustainably managed wetlands along the pristine West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, this moss is naturally filtered by waters flowing from the Southern Alps. It contains two high-performance species—Sphagnum cristatum and Sphagnum subnitens—carefully processed into this premium product.
This moss is widely used for orchids, tropicals, carnivorous plants, and more. It’s a perfect moisture-retaining layer or standalone medium—and pairs beautifully with our Orchid Mix for excellent drainage, structure, and water retention.
