My bag of sphagnum moss was on the way from Shillong to Delhi and I was really curious if it would be the real sphagnum or It will turn out to be the sheet moss just like earlier. I was expecting moss to arrive in 7-10 days but to my surprise within 5 days postman asked me to come and collect it from post office.
I was expecting it to be a big parcel as seller told me that 4kg of sphagnum moss fits in the rag bag big enough to accommodate 40 kg of flour(it was an approximate method of giving an idea). After receiving the parcel I came back home and opened up the bag to find out that it is the real white sphagnum moss. Right away I got my self prepared to re-pot all my plants into it as soon as possible.
While I was re-potting I could see that the moss was not pure, I found out that there were dried leaves, branches and similar things were also there mixed in it as seller told me earlier this mos is collected from wild generally when ever winter season arrives. After cleaning up impurities and potting my plants I use to check out regularly how plants were doing and slowly I could see that plants adjusted well in it and started growing again.
