Everything About Chilean Sphagnum Moss
The most common questions from nurseries, importers and distributors buying moss from Chile.
Sphagnum Moss is a plant that grows in the wetlands and bogs of southern Chile and, once dried, can absorb up to twenty times its own weight in water. That is why it is used as a natural substrate for growing orchids, in nurseries, ornamental plants, vertical gardens, terrariums and any crop that needs high moisture retention and good root aeration.
Exportadora OSJP Musgos SPA sells Sphagnum Moss directly from its plant at Carretera a Pargua km 12, Puerto Montt, Los Lagos Region, Chile.

Yes. In Chile, Sphagnum Moss is popularly known as musgo pompón because of the rounded shape of its heads. It is the same species, Sphagnum magellanicum, harvested in the wetlands of Puerto Montt, Chiloé and Patagonia.
We work with six grades: 5 Stars, 5 Stars Yellow, 3 Stars, Mix 3 to 5 Stars, Red Thick and Ground Moss. Classification is done manually and is based on fiber length (from finely ground to over 12 cm), maximum impurity percentage (between 2% and 5%) and coloration: white, pink, golden yellow, brown or dark red.
We work mainly with export volumes by container, with the moss compressed and packed into bales according to the weight and dimensions each client requires. Send us the moss grade, required volume and destination country and we will send you a quote.
For orchids, long and clean fibers are recommended because they hold moisture without compacting the roots. Our 5 Stars and 5 Stars Yellow grades, with fiber over 12 cm and impurity under 2%, are the most used by orchid growers. The 3 Stars grade is an excellent value alternative for larger-scale growing.
