Product Description:

Zoo Med’s New Zealand Sphagnum Moss is the preferred moss for terrariums thanks to its unique softness and exceptional moisture-holding capacity. This lush, carpet-like moss not only provides excellent hydration for live plants but also remains usable even after other substrates have decomposed, making it an extremely durable terrarium material.
The moss is sustainably harvested to ensure long-term availability and supports environmental conservation efforts. Its ability to retain more water and stay moist longer than any other type of moss makes it an essential component for creating naturalistic, humid habitats within terrariums.
New Zealand Sphagnum Moss works exceptionally well as a top substrate layer, offering a natural, moisture-rich environment for a wide range of terrarium animals. Its long-lasting structure and reusability provide a practical and eco-friendly solution for terrarium setup and care.
