Default Large quantities of sphagnum

Hello,

I'm looking to purchase a large bale of sphagnum moss. I've found one site that sells 5kg bales, but I can't seem to find anywhere else on the web that does.

Would anyone that purchases sphagnum in bulk be kind enough to share their sphagnum sources with me?

Thanks!
Matt

I bought live sphagnum moss on ebay a long time ago. Have you looked there?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not actually looking for live sphagnum. Just high quality Chilean or New Zealand sphagnum but in large bales.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately they're more expensive than the site I already found: Topiary Art Works.

Topiary Art Works was the only site I was able to locate selling it, so I was looking for more options that might be less expensive.

Glad you found a cheaper place! But it's always nice to have options.

Very true! I might have a bad experience with one store or they might be out of stock. It's always good to have a few options!

Check for mosses at:
OFE International Web Page

They have good sphagnum choices. Maybe this will be some help.
