Hi Marvin, yes, that's the high quality sphagnum moss from NZ.
You've just repotted the mother plant? It looked fine to me. Your water level is too high, just half an inch will do. Let it dry before you refill again. :1thumbup:

Re: Recently bought Sphagnum Moss
 

That is the high quality one but it's insanely expensive haha. At Camerons they sell quite big bags for RM6~ I don't know if there's a difference but my plants can't seem to tell.

Re: Recently bought Sphagnum Moss
 

I bought them for RM15.50.I saw sphagum peat moss but its too big for a little grower like me.

The sphagnum moss from Cameron (you may also find it in "Jxxxx" Hypermarket) is from China, it's not as good, and it decomposes quite fast.

Re: Recently bought Sphagnum Moss
 

I think rm15.50 is ok. Did you buy it at Ace Hardware Marvin? I think I would want to get 1 pack too for keeps. I recall buying some loose bags from Fauzi awhile back. I don't know what species of Sphagnum that is but it's definitely HQ sphagnum. The white ones like TS mention tend to have bad odour and become slimy and soggy to the touch after a few weeks.

Yes.I bought it from ACE.Why does the sticker on the Sm says New Trio Products?Is it the same nursey from Tropicana?Anyways what is root hormone?

Re: Recently bought Sphagnum Moss
 

Hi Marvin...15 ringgit only!!....Man i've gotta get one of those......Almost half the price of the ones in desa park city..
