I've never mixed the whole thing....I just take enough for whatever plant i want to pot

Re: new zealand sphagnum moss
 

no,what i mean was hw much sphagnum moss u got from the RM15 one?it looks like bricks and im sure once its soaked into water,it'll spread .so is the amount a lot or just a small amount of moss after been soak with water?want to compare the amount with the cheap one :)



Thanks fr answering :)

Re: new zealand sphagnum moss
 

okay,to be easy.hw many pots and what size of pots can it fill if its the RM15.50 once?

Re: new zealand sphagnum moss
 

Harris, what Ken mean is nobody will soak the whole thing to see how much it will be, what people do normally is just take roughly how much they want and soak in the water. Unless there is someone who need a lot or wanna do repotting for his/her whole collection at once.
My opinion is, don't use the cheap type, the New Zealand one is worth the price. Get the large packing, it's much worthwhile.

owh now i get it :)
okay one more Q.u know the cheap once Rm3.90 once which sold at jusco,is the amount of sphagnum moss in the cheap one is lesser than the RM15.50 new zealand sphag?or much more?

Thanks :)

It's lesser. And not that good quality, also has lots of dirt and twigs. Decomposes fast, within three months @.@ the new zealand LFS is tightly compressed so there is more than what the size of the bag looks like. And get the bigger bag, more worth it :smile:

thanks Edward!
i hope the RM27 once will be on stock soon.i hardly see that one on sale.

another Q,i read the packet and it says "6litres".does that mean that the whole thing can fill in a 6litre water bottle full?or 6litres by other mean?


Thanks :)

Re: new zealand sphagnum moss
 

the litres thing is the volume of the sphagnum, not how much water...

After soaking in water the size is roughly near to double after soaking in water

it's a good one to pot those species that needs soggy condition, but set back is that if medium stay wet for long period of time in your place, it'll not be a good choice for species that need more airy medium like campanulata as the thing is more like a sponge compared to those ordinary cheaper one

Re: new zealand sphagnum moss
 

thanks for the answer!double sounds kinda a lot!
i think its worth to buy this stuff since the quality and the amount :)


thanks,thanks and thanks!haha sorry for being so anoyying :)
