Review: I wouldn’t buy any other moss - When I decided I wanted to start incorporating moss poles into my plant care, I did a lot of research. I selected this moss based on recommendations from more experienced plant caregivers, and I am very glad I did. It’s top quality, and it’s really clean. Yes, there are a couple of small sticks here and there, but I easily pick them out and discard them. There is no odor with this moss, except a slight (and expected) plant-y fragrance that is very pleasant. I’ve dampened large quantities of it for pole building, and the unused moss dries out completely over time with no mold or odor. I feel like I lucked out because it’s the only moss I’ve ever used and it’s a great product. I’ve read so many bad things about poor quality moss. My first package was enough for the equivalent of 17 moss pole segments as well as additional non-pole stuff.
Review: Best moss ever - Best moss ever! I’ll never go back to anything else. Everyone who buys plants from me asks what moss I use so they can buy it too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Approximately how many small pots could you fill with this? I want to pot four basal shoots and one large plant, does anyone know if this is enough?**
A: Yes it will be plenty.  This stuff is compressed into the brick and when you soak the moss it expands. Honestly this is the best stuff on the market in my opinion.
