Its natural air porosity keeps oxygen moving through the root zone, reducing the risk of root rot. It is naturally low in pH (approximately 4.8) and low in soluble salts, making it gentle on sensitive root systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassic Grade Spagmoss has strands of 100mm or longer in over 70% of the mix.
