Sphagnum Moss has excellent water retention capacity, effectively absorbing and slowly releasing water to help keep plant roots moist while avoiding root rot caused by overwatering, making it an ideal soil amendment material.

Dress Up Potted Plants
Peat moss can be used as a decoration for plants to enhance the greenery of a space; its excellent moisturizing ability avoids frequent watering.
Bedding for Reptiles
Peat moss mimics a natural habitat providing a moist environment for invertebrates and reptiles, suitable for species that require high humidity.
Ideal Substrate for Plants Growth

It comes very dry, hard, and compact. Wet it down and it will increase in size exponentially and get nice and soft and fluffy.

This is my first moss purchase. The package that arrived was the size of a thin DVD case. I made a "pffft" sound as I was expecting a big bag. I tossed it in a bucket and started running water over it, and it was like magic! It sprang to life instantly. I let it soak a few days, and look at this bucket of moss!!! The next time, I think I'll break chunks off before rehydrating. I have 8 orchids, but since I'm using this as a topper to hold some humidity around the roots during this dry northern winter, I could have managed with half the moss I have hydrated. If you have kids, call them in to watch this magic! That alone was worth the price of the moss! I wish I had filmed it for you.

Moss came in two big bricks (bought 4.4lbs). Easily breakable into small pieces, so it works well for my tortoise because she tends to eat them sometimes (Longer strands will cause impaction).I don’t care about the color, but I appreciate there’s no dyes and that the moss smells just like dried hay.

Looks good, hydrated well. There were a bit of sticks and dried grass, but that's to be expected for natural moss, so I'm not too displeased. Smells like a lake, which I like personally.

I feel like the product ad is kind of deceptive because from the photo, I expected a bag of fluffy moss. Instead I received a small brick of moss the size of a dvd. I decided to go ahead and try it out anyways as I’m use to fluffy bags of moss.I added about a quart of water and the moss fluffed up almost instantly. It looks great. I had to pick out some sticks and grass but otherwise I’m happy with it. I got the 3.5oz size. I’ll be using this for my snake terrarium.

I was skeptical that this would work well, but after using it to re-pot several orchids I an very pleased. The only complaint is that it was difficult to only try to use a small portion of it as it was so heavily compacted. Once soaked and softened - the potting material was lovely to work with and so far there are no twigs or hard sticks - only quality moss! Would purchase this again in a heart beat!!

The mouse has an odd smell to it and has lots of roots and twigs mixed through throughout. I honestly honestly wish I opted for a bit higher price for a better quality. But for filling a bunch of moss poles, it was a good find. The color is also very pale green compared to other moss I’ve used.

Purchased the 3.3 lb block.As far as sphagnum goes, I've purchased a brand that came in a 1.2 lb block. One that came in a 2.2 lb block, same brand as this, as well as this; 3.3 lb block. The original block, different brand, was excellent. Long fibers, low bits and pieces good color and fluffy.Of this brand the 2.2 lb bale came in a 15-in (ish) by 15 in (ish) by 6-8" block. This bale, containing 10 or so more quarts and another lb of sphagnum is actually compressed to less than half of the size of that. The block itself was probably 8x8x10 or something, going off memory.The benefit to the 2.2 lb block, it wasn't overly compressed so it was easy to pull moss off in sheets About a quarter of that block would do three to four of the moss poles I do. When naturally decompressed, it would fluff easily and remain in Long fibers. It DID have quite a lot of the smaller bits, many more than previous. I just use those in my mixes that need high water retention. It had a good smell but did have several sticks and pieces of plastic twine. I would recommend it.At time of writing originally, I had not broken into this one yet, but since editing, but it appears VERY compressed.It's not necessarily true the first block I bought was fairly compressed as well, not as compressed as this but it was more compressed in the previous block, and that block actually had less of the little bits and the broken strands then the block of this brand, That was less compacted.All in all, the fibers were all average at least three plus inches, so I think it worked out. It does compress a bit more than the previous batch. I don't like to use the little bits as they will come out through the holes in the moss pole, so I tend to kind of wad them in with the longer strands and stuff then in the middle, or again, use in soil.I've actually used all the block now, and am getting more. When allowed to expand, there is physically more sphagnum there, but it's not as fluffy, and it has more fines and broken stuff. I'm torn. I don't know if the increase makes up for it, and since the stuff is a bit finer., It'll compact a bit more, and is easier to over pack the poles, but not a lot, so in the end you really still only get a bit more. I have started adding bark to my moss poles to add something hard for roots to wrap into and onto, that takes up space and helps airate.Now I see they have a 4.4 lb block. I'm worried it's just as compressed. When you over compress this stuff you lose volume. It gets smaller and packs more.
