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
New Zealand Sphagnum moss is a versatile product renowned for its remarkable natural properties; it is long lasting with an excellent water holding capacity.
Spagmoss is commonly used:
- By commercial and hobby growers in the cultivation of various orchid species
- As a decorative enhancement
- For assisting with young plant growth
- By carnivorous plant growers
- For reptile bedding
- As an additive to increase water holding in other substrates
