  • Bag fresh sphagnum moss in pink

    Fresh Premium Sphagnum Moss In Pink

    From: £6.00

    We handpick our gorgeous Sphagnum moss from our exclusive sites in the North of Scotland. In these locations there are forestry operations, so we carefully pick our moss before these areas are disturbed by the machinery.

    We also spread our picking around our sites so as not to overpick any specific area.

    We have Sphagnum moss in either our ‘classic’ green/brown or natural stunning pink varieties.

    • Make your own moss pole, we recommend about 250g per 30cm of pole you want to make.
    • Use in your substrate mixes – for example, mix it with sand to make the perfect carnivorous plant soil.
    • Use as a layer in your terrarium as a natural alternative to mesh above the drainage layer.
    • Ideal for propagation – especially ‘string’ plants like string of hearts, string of pearls etc

    You can see an example of it in the photos and in our YouTube moss pole installation guide here

    Please note that as this is natural moss there will be some variances in colour.

    The moss looks wonderful when paired with one of our green or pink moss poles.

    Fresh moss is also super useful for propagation – see the photos for an example where the moss helped my variegated string of hearts cuttings produce roots. We also have a video on IGTV here

Sphagnum Moss – Gentle Support for Growing Plants

Our Sphagnum Moss is harvested by hand from private working forests in the north of Scotland, ensuring minimal impact on local ecosystems. Naturally absorbent and airy, it’s perfect for a wide range of plant care tasks, from maintaining humidity in moss poles to lining terrariums or supporting root growth during propagation, as well as wreath making and as a potting mix component.

Available in different natural colour options, classic green/brown, vibrant pink or component grade when the appearance does not matter. Our sphagnum moss is unparallelled in quality, freshness and appearance.

The terrariums were exactly what I wanted for rehoming two moss balls that had outgrown their home.
