How to Use:
Soak the dried sphagnum moss thoroughly in clean water until fully hydrated. Gently squeeze out excess water before use. Avoid packing the moss too tightly around the roots, as good airflow is important for healthy root development.
Storage:
Keep unused dried sphagnum moss in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Once wet, allow unused moss to dry properly before long-term storage to prevent mould growth.
