Irish sphagnum peat

Irish sphagnum peat is a high-quality natural organic substrate, obtained from the controlled decomposition of selected sphagnum mosses from Ireland, appreciated for its ability to retain moisture, improve soil structure and promote healthy root development.

Thanks to its soft and fibrous structure, sphagnum peat increases the water-holding capacity of the substrate while maintaining good aeration, creating an ideal environment for root growth.

Available in various package formats, it is suitable for both hobby and professional use.

Why use Irish sphagnum peat

• ✔ High water retention, reduces water stress and makes watering more regular.
• ✔ Improves soil structure, making it softer and easier to work with.
• ✔ Promotes root development, especially during early growth stages.
• ✔ Naturally acidic, ideal for acid-loving plants.

Main features

• Very fine structure: promotes both water retention and aeration.
• High purity: completely free from residues and impurities (fibers, clumps, undecomposed pieces).
• Excellent for mixing: perfect as a base or component of custom substrates.

Ideal for

• Sowing and cuttings
• Acid-loving plants (azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, etc.)
• Ornamental and tropical plants
• Professional potting soil mixes and special substrates for any kind of plant

How to use it

• In mixes: with other materials (pumice, perlite, lapillus, etc.) to create balanced substrates.
• As a base substrate: for sowing, cuttings and crops that require high water retention.
• To improve poor soils: increases the ability to retain water and nutrients.
