Natural moisture reservoir for cuttings, orchids and terrariums
Sphagnum moss, also known as peat moss, is a natural material that can hold a lot of water while remaining airy. This creates an ideal environment for root formation, rooting cuttings and maintaining the humidity around plants.
Our sphagnum moss is sustainably harvested at Dutch nurseries and consists of long, flexible strands. Because it is a natural product, a twig, blade of grass or small insect may occasionally be found inside.

Benefits of sphagnum moss:
- Holds a lot of moisture
- Remains airy and prevents roots from suffocating
- Ideal for cuttings and air layers
- Suitable for orchids and other epiphytes
- Improves humidity in terrariums
- Perfect for moss poles and kokedama
- Natural and virtually free of pathogens
Sphagnum moss is one of the most commonly used materials for rooting cuttings. It keeps the environment constantly moist without becoming wet or compact. This allows young roots to develop quickly and healthily.
For moss poles
Climbing plants such as Monstera, Philodendron and Epipremnum develop aerial roots more easily when a moss pole is filled with moist sphagnum moss. This stimulates stronger growth and larger leaves.
For orchids
Mixed with orchid bark, sphagnum moss helps retain moisture for longer without leaving the roots too wet. Young orchids and species with fine roots benefit particularly from this.
For terrariums
In terrariums, sphagnum moss acts as a natural moisture buffer. It helps keep the humidity stable and prevents the substrate from drying out too quickly.
For kokedama
Thanks to its fibrous structure, sphagnum moss is excellently suited for holding a kokedama ball together. It stays beautiful for a long time and retains enough moisture for the plant.
Use
* For cuttings: moisten lightly and place the cuttings inside.
* For moss poles: fill loosely and moisten regularly.
* For orchids: mix 10-30% with bark.
* For terrariums: use as an intermediate or top layer.
* For kokedama: apply around the root ball and tie it together.
Storage
Store the moss slightly moist in a light place, but not in direct sunlight. Do not let it dry out completely and prevent it from staying soaking wet for extended periods. Some air circulation helps prevent mold formation and rot.
In short: sphagnum moss is a natural moisture reservoir that holds a lot of water while remaining airy. This makes it one of the best materials for cuttings, moss poles, orchids, terrariums and kokedama.
