Description
Spagmoss Production
Deep on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, water flows from the Southern Alps feeding the natural habitat of Sphagnum moss. From this pristine environment we harvest Sphagnum cristatum and Sphagnum subnitens to produce Spagmoss.
The labour intensive process begins when the moss is hand picked from swamps which are dedicated to the farming of Sphagnum moss. After being extracted from the swamp by helicopter it is transported to Coastpak where the second phase of the processing begins
Besgrow provides a range of Spagmoss products to suit many customers in the orchid growing, floristry and landscaping industries

In the orchid growing industry it is renowned for having long, strong strands, lasting long in the pot and having excellent water holding capacity; all of which encourage strong and healthy root development. Besgrow Spagmoss has naturally low concentrations of soluble salts, is relatively sterile and has a structure that allows it to hold up to 20 times its weight in water.

Spagmoss IS effective
Besgrow Spagmoss is hand-picked and naturally air dried to ensure its quality and remarkable water holding capacity (maximum WHC of 96%). This allows the moss to retain water and nutrients for easy release to the plant without accumulating unwanted soluble salts. Growing in high quality media lessens plant management costs and improves plant health. Orchid growers can be certain that Spagmoss will deliver tangible benefits.
