JERWTLU supplies milled sphagnum moss for horticultural growing-media applications, propagation and custom substrate blends. It has been meticulously hand-harvested, air-dried, and cleaned to achieve a remarkable 96% water-holding capacity (WHC). It can be used as a standalone seed germination medium, paired with carnivorous plants, or incorporated as an additive into various potting mixes to help improve soil structure and enhance water and nutrient retention.
Premium Origin: New Zealand sphagnum moss is renowned globally for its superior quality, making it a favorite among reptile/amphibian hobbyists and orchid growers.
Exceptional Water Retention: Capable of absorbing 20 times its own weight in water, it helps improve soil drainage and moisture-holding capacity.
Natural Antimicrobial Properties: Contains the natural antibiotic sphagnum, which can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi.
Sustainable Sourcing: Harvested from fully renewable resources, managed with a focus on sustainable development.
Blend of two sphagnum species (S. cristatum and S. subnitens)
Fine, long fibers with a loose structure, promoting healthy root growth
Natural pH of 4.8, beneficial for acidic-loving plants
Can be used alone or mixed with other media to improve soil porosity and nutrient retention
Usage:
Can be used as a seed germination medium, carnivorous plant substrate, or added to various potting mixes to improve soil structure. Avoid using tap water directly; instead, use rainwater, well water, or reverse osmosis-filtered water.

Labeling, phytosanitary or import-document requirements
No. Milled sphagnum describes the processed physical form. A product should be called live only when it is shipped as living material and that status is supported by the actual handling and export process.
Moisture, grading, pH and expansion can vary in natural materials. A dated lot specification makes the purchase requirement measurable and avoids relying on a generic marketing value.
