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

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.

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!

so i’ve ordered both this and the other variation of the besgrow spagmoss (premier? not sure but it’s more expensive and it’s not vacuum sealed) and i like this one so much better.there was significantly less sticks and “moss-less” strings in this one which makes it easier to use. i also feel like it was fluffier if that makes any sense and i’ve had less trouble with it getting compacted or even hydrophobic — i am a chronic under-waterer so this is really helpful for me.they are both high quality, much more than the BG brand and you pay for the quality you receive. could it be cheaper? yes. but would that make them cheapen the quality? maybe.

I use this with all my alocasia plants and they love it and do so well with it. I layer the bottom of my container with perlite and then this moss. Does well with moisture retention. I’m so amazed how this small compacted package expands once it comes in contact with moisture. Great product.

I only have my my own arrogance to blame for not doing more research and understanding how much product I was buying, but hopefully this review helps prevent someone else from repeating my mistake.If you haven't figured it out already, 100g is not a lot of moss! I didn't realize how tiny this brick would be when I ordered it to make some moss poles. The brick is about the size of a mailing envelope, and when water is added it expands quite a bit. But, it made 4 moss poles.It's also worth noting that this item page does not give you the option to purchase a larger package of moss, even though the product image depicts several larger bricks. If you want to order larger bricks, you need to search Amazon for sphagnum moss again and find the larger product size yourself. (Kind of a hassle, but whatever.)Happy planting. :)Update:The moss fluffed up perfectly with only a few loose pieces of twigs/straw. Overall, this is a pretty good value given the price of New Zealand moss and other moss pole supplies vs buying a pre-made pole.

Great moss, better than using soil.

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.

Came as a dried moss brick. Tiny dried about expands into quite a bit of moss so start slow
