Sphagnum Moss

There seems to be a new trend growing bonsai with sphagnum moss instead of soil. For the begginer this a great medium to grow in. Sphagnum moss is approximately 350 different types of species of peatmoss usually found in bogs and mires. This medium is truly acidic and the bonsai trees love it. Its very easy to work with and not nearly as messy as messing with soil. I just learned about this method and plan to use it on some of my upcomming trees. Ill report back when I know some thing in the mean time this video is full of information on sphagnum moss. The guy really did a great job but if you would like to know more watch his other videos there all great.




this video is great to watch for learning how to grow with sphagnum moss.
