Sphagnum moss for growing bonsai and orchids

The rather exceptional water retention power of sphagnum moss enables many usages. Layered on the surface at the foot of a bonsai, protects it from the sun and retains moisture, improving root formation. It allows the achievement of air layering. In combination with other materials (Akadama, compost, etc. ...) it aerates the substrate and facilitates irrigation and water retention. The moss is antibacterial; it helps prevent rot and disease. Its use is strongly recommended in growing orchids. The moss is also used in building plant walls.
