Triffid Guy Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I have bought some Coco Peat to repot some of my carniverous plants and experiment with.. I would like to also try and cultivate some Sphagnum moss. Has anybody had any experience with trying to see if Sphagnum will thrive as a top dressing on Coco Peat please?

gardenofeden Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Not had much luck on coco peat, but grows ok on coir chunks for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue.tomato Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I've had excellent success. For me it grows even better on coir than on peat. What is important is that you check the salt content of the coco-peat. Additionally, I found out is that Sphagnum loves being showered often: really let the water flow generously through the substrate - works well in pots, but also in barrels if you have a hole 5-10 cm from the soil surface where the water can exit). This way you can counteract the salt build-up and in part the blackening of the Sphagnum heads. Good luck and keep us updated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
