This product is our biggest seller and is very useful in the production of orchids. See our sphagnum moss for orchid care. It is also useful with other plants. The real
beauty of this moss is not its visual appeal but its ability to absorb
and retain up to 17 times its weight in water!!!! This allows plants to
breathe but still stay moist.
This Chilean Sphagnum Moss grows in the low lying swamps in the beautiful
area of southern Chile near many volcanoes (hence our company name). Our
trained workers gather the moss by hand and transport it to the drying
houses, where it is carefully cleaned and graded, then packed with specialized equipment into the optimum pack for every type of need. The
products are carefully loaded into Ocean Freight Containers of either 20
or 40 foot lengths, and shipped to the Port nearest you!! We also sell
in less than full container loads if required.

MOSS LEAF - An additive designed to increase the desirable properties of Peat based soil mixes. Click
to see picture. The addition of Sphagnum
Moss Leaf to these mixes will improve aeration, reduce compaction and improve the friability of the mix. Water holding capacity is increased and this also results in reducing the requirement to irrigate so frequently and therefore helps to reduce production costs.
