Sphagnum Moss – 50g (Dried Orchid Moss) | Buy in Mauritius – Tizardin
Buy natural dried Sphagnum Moss online in Mauritius. A light, airy growing medium that holds up to 20 times its weight in water – the favourite of orchid growers, aroid lovers and gardeners who root cuttings and air layers.
Sphagnum Moss is a natural, long-fibre dried moss that keeps roots moist without suffocating them. Once soaked, it becomes soft and spongy, holding water and humidity for a long time while letting air reach the roots. It is the perfect substrate for orchids (Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Vanda), carnivorous plants and aroids (Alocasia, Anthurium, Monstera), and a must-have for propagation: cuttings, seedlings and air layering (marcottage).
