Leafy™ Chilean Sphagnum Moss #005 – 7A Premium Grade

Looking for a high-quality moss that holds moisture, promotes healthy roots, and does more than just one job? Our Chilean Sphagnum Moss is an all-natural, biodegradable option that plant lovers and terrarium keepers swear by.

Sustainably Sourced from the wetlands of Southern Chile, this moss (Sphagnum magellanicum) is government-regulated and sustainably harvested under Chile’s Ministry of Agriculture. It’s rich in color, slightly red-toned, and packed with benefits.

 ⭐️Perfect to use for:

  • Filling moss poles
  • Making kokedamas
  • Rooting cuttings
  • Orchid growing
  • Soil conditioning
  • Terrariums and vivariums
  • Reptile bedding
  • Increasing humidity for houseplants

⭐️ What makes it special?

  • Retains up to 20x its weight in water and releases it slowly
  • High air permeability – keeps roots oxygenated and reduces risk of root rot
  • Great for loosening heavy clay soils and improving drainage
  • pH between 4.5–5
  • Fibre length: approx. 8–15 cm
  • 100% natural, organic, and compostable

 ⭐️ Quality Difference – Why Choose Chilean Moss?


Compared to other sphagnum mosses:

  • New Zealand Sphagnum (S. cristatum): Longer strands, fluffier texture – great for wrapping roots but more expensive and less compact.
  • Chinese Sphagnum: Often lower quality, contains more debris, and doesn’t hold moisture , breaks down easily.
  • Chilean Sphagnum (S. magellanicum): Leafier texture, shorter fibres, slightly red tips – easier to mix into substrates and highly absorbent. It's a 7-star grade moss trusted by reptile and plant hobbyists alike due to its purity, moisture retention, and consistent quality.

 

Here’s a rough guide on how much pre-soaked moss you’ll need for each moss pole size:

  • Large: approx. 4 liters
  • Medium: approx. 1.5 liters
  • Small: approx. 800 ml
  • Mini: approx. 500 ml

These approx measurements are based on using pre-soaked moss. 

💚 Please Note

This is a naturally harvested product. You may find small twigs or plant bits. That’s completely normal and doesn’t affect performance.
