Better-Gro Sphagnum Moss: My Go-To for Thriving Plants!
As an avid plant enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for high-quality growing mediums, and Better-Gro Sphagnum Moss has quickly become an absolute staple in my plant care routine. This isn’t just any moss; it’s truly superior!The quality is evident right out of the bag. It’s long-fibered, clean, and free of excessive debris, which makes it a pleasure to work with. I’ve used it for a variety of purposes, and it consistently delivers outstanding results.For my orchids, it’s simply the best. It provides that perfect balance of moisture retention and aeration that orchids crave, preventing root rot while keeping them hydrated. My Phalaenopsis and Cattleya orchids have never looked healthier, with vigorous root growth and beautiful blooms.Beyond orchids, I’ve found it indispensable for propagating cuttings. Whether I’m rooting a Monstera, Philodendron, or even a succulent, a bed of moist Better-Gro Sphagnum Moss creates the ideal humid environment, leading to quick and strong root development. It’s also fantastic for carnivorous plants that require consistently moist, nutrient-poor conditions.What really sets it apart is its incredible moisture retention capacity without becoming waterlogged, coupled with excellent drainage and aeration. This combination is critical for healthy root systems, preventing common issues like compaction and suffocation.If you’re serious about your plants and want to give them the best possible start or growing environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Better-Gro Sphagnum Moss. It’s a premium product that genuinely makes a difference!

Great sphag!
So happy I switched! Didn’t find as much debris as others have claimed. I use this for my nepenthes and it retains moisture really well. It’s growing even more with this medium than the previous sphag I was using. This one is a lot larger and fluffier. It doesn’t take as long to rehydrate. It stays roughly the same size as it is dry. I definitely recommend and would buy again!

Great Quality
This is a great quality sphagnum moss from a trustworthy brand. This small bag held way more moss than I thought it would! The texture is great, and it has no smell. It retains plenty of water. I propagate cuttings and repot my orchids in this, and they are doing great.

Good quality and value
I was able to fill 4 D-shape plastic moss poles with one bag of this sphagnum moss. there was very minimal twigs to pick out compared to other sphagnum Iâve bought. Overall this is the best value for quality I have found

Good for moss poles
Great for moss poles. Does not stink like some other brands. Loses a star for being expensive and having too many sticks in it.
Max Kalnitz –
Generous quantity!!
Exactly what I needed, very generous quantity and the quality is great, very clean with no sticks or debris. I will order again..

Good buy.
The moss works fine for my carnivorous plant. I just wish it was a lighter color. But good buy. The big plant has the product in it. The moss in the little pot is much lighter and it came from the nursery. It doesn’t smell.

Great moss for plants and gardens
My venus flytraps and sundews LOVE it. Took right to it and are growing big and strong. Perfect planting material and I have a ton left, still. Not dusty, easy to clean, not dirty, even looks pretty and green when moist.

Bought this for propagation. I’ve heard stories about some brands of moss being mostly twigs but this is good quality. I’ve made two prop boxes with it and taped the rest up for now. It’s a large bag with enough moss for probably 20 small propagation/seed trays.

Moss is good as expected & as desribed in details.But i am disappointed from the delivery, i have received my order very late, almost after a month.
Nisreen A. Fatani –
I use it for my orchid and for propagation too
Qavi Ansari –
The price is quite high for the quality you get. The water retention is not really good and dries out very fast so you need to keep watering the plants every 3/4 days max. It has a lot of twigs and dirt as well.

I only needed a tiny bit of this to re-pot a little orchid. So far so good, though.
