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 protected locations 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.
Available in two natural colour options—classic green/brown or vibrant pink—our sphagnum moss offers both functionality and visual appeal. Gardeners and plant enthusiasts often use it to create ideal conditions for moisture-loving houseplants, carnivorous plants, and tropical species. Its long-lasting structure holds water well without compacting, helping roots stay aerated and healthy.
