Why and who needs sphagnum

This type of moss is used as part of a substrate mixture. Of course, it is not suitable for all plants. By the way, there are no nutrients in sphagnum.

By its nature, sphagnum has an acidic habitat. That is why it is suitable for plants that also grow in similar conditions. Its pH is about 3.0.
