Before use, place the moss in shallow water to allow it to absorb moisture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePetal is the finest form of Besgrow sphagnum: only the soft, fluffy tips of the plant, without the long threads and stems found in Classic, Premier, and Supreme. Therefore, this type is not suitable as a loose growing medium in a pot, but is ideal as an \u003cstrong\u003eadditive component in soil mixes\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Besgrow brand has been known for years among carnivorous plant growers, orchid growers, and collectors of special houseplants as a brand of \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent quality\u003c\/strong\u003e. The moss is harvested from fields managed by Besgrow itself, ensuring that it can be harvested in a \u003cstrong\u003esustainable\u003c\/strong\u003e and renewable manner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Petal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to the absence of long strands, Petal blends much more evenly into a substrate than regular sphagnum. You won't get clumps or threads that disrupt the structure of your mix, but an airy, even distribution that increases the moisture retention capacity of your mixture without making it compact. That's why it is widely used in mixes such as ABG mix, terrarium and vivarium substrates, and as an additive to potting soil for small or shallow-rooting species such as Utricularia, Drosera cuttings, and Pinguicula.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProperties\u003c\/strong\u003e of this sphagnum petal:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% natural and renewable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-picked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly tips, no stems or long strands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chemicals or additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used directly from the pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/strong\u003e of this sphagnum petal:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH 4.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC of 0.2 Ms\/CM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan absorb 20x its own weight in water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow in salts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this living sphagnum moss?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssentially, this is dried moss used as an additive component for substrates, where it is not necessary for the moss to be alive.
