I'll try to look out for peat moss for you too.

Korean, u can come to Melaka Mahkota Parade. Go to Parkson underground floor. There's a DIY shop selling Horti Peat Moss There's also a nursery near my house that sells sphagnom moss, but it is not the New Zealand quality. I'm not sure where it is from. But it was packed at Cameron Highlands and distributed to the nurseries here. Take a look. However, sphagnum moss stocks are not always available at the nursery here. Have to make order first.

Quote:one package how much

The peat moss, im not sure because i just saw it + theres no price tag at the package. But i'm sure it is no more than RM10 because i bought once from Ace Hardware at Mid Valley, it cost RM7 per packet. The package size is about the package of organic potting soil but the peat moss is not full. About half to 3/4 of the package volume. The package is green in colour.

The sphagnum moss, it cost RM5 per packet here.

Yup, that's true. But do we have any choice, living far from KL? hehe

go to the lowest floor. U will see Giant, if i'm not mistaken. Do not go there, but look for a stall that sells massaging chair etc, OSIM if not mistaken. The DIY shop is just the opposite of the OSIM stall.
