You get a lot for your money.

It's a little hard to break a small piece off the dried block so I'm gonna try a small jig saw next time to cut small pieces off. I don't need much at any one given time. I only have the one orchid.When wetted, it swells up quite a lot. Kinda fun to watch. I'm not savvy enough to know if the quantity to price ratio is good or not, but for the price I got enough to last quite awhile ... so I'm not complaining.The only way to determine if this block of compressed moss would actually fill 25 quarts would be to hydrate the whole block and stuff it in quarts. 25 seems a bit far fetched, but I'm not gonna do that cuz I don't want it all hydrated and I don't particularly care. It'll be a long time before I use what I got up.

I repotted several of my orchids with this product. They were quite happy until a hurricane sent seawater to cover them briefly. No longer happy orchids.

When I initially purchased a "brick" of dried Sphagnum Moss, I had no idea just how much it would expand once submerged in water. To my pleasant surprise, the expansion exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Here's why:As a plant enthusiast, I often find myself experimenting with different propagation methods. The Sphagnum Moss came in handy when I decided to create plant propagation boxes. Upon soaking the moss in water, it expanded significantly, providing an ample amount to work with.The effectiveness of this Sphagnum Moss in promoting successful plant propagation is remarkable. It creates a moist and nurturing environment for the cuttings, encouraging root development and growth. I have observed excellent results with my propagated plants, and I credit it to the quality of this moss.Furthermore, the ease of use is worth mentioning. The "brick" form allows for convenient storage and handling. When needed, I simply place the desired amount of dry moss into a container and add water. Within a short period, the moss expands to a voluminous and fluffy texture, which is perfect for creating a supportive and moisture-retaining bed for the cuttings.One aspect to consider is that Sphagnum Moss may have a slightly acidic pH level. While this acidity can be beneficial for certain plants, it's important to monitor the pH requirements of the specific plant species you are propagating. Some plants may prefer a more neutral or alkaline environment, so adjusting the pH accordingly is essential.In terms of value for money, this Sphagnum Moss offers a cost-effective solution for plant propagation. The initial brick may seem compact, but it expands significantly, providing an abundance of moss for multiple projects. I found it to be a worthwhile investment, considering the positive impact it had on the success of my plant propagation endeavors.In conclusion, the Sphagnum Moss exceeded my expectations in terms of expansion and performance. It has proven to be a reliable aid for plant propagation, creating an optimal environment for root development. Its ease of use and affordability further contribute to its appeal. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient tool for plant propagation, I highly recommend giving Sphagnum Moss a try.

I've bought Moss for plants before, but never had one like this one, it's clean, really absorb and soak up water well, give great volume of Moss for my plants

I use this a lot for plants especially for my plants. It is really easy to work with and holds water nicely.

Idk if I did something wrong or my thumb isn't as green as I'd like, but I was getting interested in plants,gardening and horticulture and I was fascinated by Venus Fly Traps (probably because I absolutely loved the movie/musical "Little Shop of Horrors" as a kid) Anyway, I took a stroll down reddit road and was instructed by multiple people to look into sphaegnum moss as a substrate for reporting my fly traps. I'll admit at first it grew like crazy (to the point I started to get nervous and excited at the same time) then all of a sudden the trap just started decaying and turning black. I was told it could be fungus or something else. I'm not sure. So just be weary about it and do your own research.... also be weary if your shopping for plants during a Total eclipse..... of the sun!

This moss was shipped dried and compressed. You have to break apart and sit in a large bowl of water for 20 minutes to re-hydrate. Squeeze the excess water out and you're good to go! It was just enough to fill two 15" moss poles for my monstera.
