Besgrow's tagline is 'At the root of healthier plants' and it certainly is. This is for the 1kg brick of Besgrow Fresh Spagmoss. Hydrated and ready to use with no prep required. Each brick measures about 26cms x 13cms x 9cms. Well packed so you get more than you think. 

Why choose NZ sphagnum moss?

Home-grown and sustainably harvested from the Southern West Coast. Compared to lower quality spag moss that starts to breakdown and decompose in just months, NZ spag moss takes years to break down. The spag moss Besgrow uses is a long-strand spag moss which is nice and fluffy, making it more resistant to compacting, leaving roots plenty of air space for oxygen to help avoid root rot. 


NZ spag moss is also known for lower salt accumulation to help avoid fertiliser burn. Since spag moss has little to no nutrient value, you will need to use fertiliser. If you get yourself fertiliser formulated for indoor plants you're on to a winning combo. For propagating I'm loving the GT CCS rooting fertiliser.

What's the difference between dry and fresh spag moss?

This is for the Besgrow Fresh Spagmoss which is minimally processed to retain the quality of the moss, and designed to be used straight from the bag, no prep needed. This makes it suitable for all the usual spag moss uses (below), but also for carnivorous plants, as in the right conditions fresh spag moss has the potential to grow.  

What is spag moss used for?

For propagation used by itself, and as an additive to your potting mix to increase water retention and aeration. Popular for cuttings and delicate baby plants, orchids, kokedama, hanging baskets, bare-root shipping to wrap roots and keep them moist during transport, and for retaining moisture for potted plants that dry out too fast. Very popular used to make moss poles also, especially used with the Grow Vertical mesh-front support poles.
