moss

Sphagnum Magallanicus from wetlands of the central sierra of Peru. 100% vegetable moss, with high water retention capacity (can absorb up to 20 times its weight), ideal as a substrate and organic amendment for horticultural and industrial applications.

Characteristics and benefits:

• High water retention: maintains constant moisture in the root system and extends irrigation intervals.
• Improves root aeration: promotes soil oxygenation and contributes to more vigorous growth and longer flowering duration in ornamental species.
• Nutrient retention: helps retain fertilizers in the root zone, increasing the efficiency of fertilization.
• Natural amendment: improves soil structure in an organic, non-polluting way and enhances the biological resistance of plants.
• Antiseptic properties: provides characteristics that reduce microbial proliferation on the substrate.
• Regenerative resource: the species has natural regenerative capacity, returning to harvestable conditions in 3–4 years.

Main uses:

• Professional horticulture: substrate for orchids, ornamental plants, and nurseries.
• Specialized agriculture: cultivation of blueberries and other species requiring acidic substrates with high retention.
• Lawn and sports fields: enhancer and amendment for golf courses and professional lawns.
• Forest nurseries and tray plant production.
• Industrial absorbent applications: potential use in processes for manufacturing diapers and bandages (subject to regulatory requirements and specific treatments).

Handling and quality information:

• Naturally harvested product with controlled harvesting, drying, and packaging processes to minimize contamination.
• Recommended to store in a dry place protected from moisture until use.

If you need additional technical specifications (residual moisture, fragmentation grade, commercial presentation, or microbiological analysis), specify to provide available data or tests for professional use and industrial-scale purchases.
