Long fibrous sphagnum Moss

Hey all
I'm located in Calgary here in western Canada. Where do you all manage to find the good quality sphagnum Moss? I'm looking online now as none of the places near me carry anything but the more acidic moss. Thanks

Check local greenhouses. I found some here in Saskatoon at a locally owned farm and garden center. Also any place that might deal in orchids.

If you're in Calgary try Greengate Garden Centres.
Shows they have Chilean sphagnum (Willgro brand)
All the way at the bottom.

It's the same stuff I've bought. It's a bit dirty, so pick out the sticks and the leaves and the roots... There was some random seeds in it too that sprouted. I plucked them out. Now I sterilize it before I use it by putting it in my instant pot (pot in pot method)

Ohh, they also have small and large pumice, zeolite, bonsai soil and large perlite!
Looks like a neat place to visit!

check the pet stores .... it is also a substrate for reptile enclosures
I still have to get around to contacting Jim at J&J Reptiles in 17th ave too

I get mine from here- good price for bulk.

I'll second this vendor. Avery mentioned them before so I placed an order. If you buy it direct and pay their shipping fee it's cheaper than Amazon.
They're fairly fast and fully email oriented. You'll get notifications and a tracking number from them.

Oh wow, they have all sorts of neat stuff!
A lot of the organic terrarium decorations could make really neat orchid mounts

Where I can I buy this in Toronto Canada? Nowhere has it that I've checked. Why is it so hard to find? Tks!
