Perfect substrate for plant propagation 🌿

Perfect substrate for plant propagation 🌿
I purchased this moss specifically to propagate some slow rooting plant cuttings and a few Alocacia corms that I recently got.This is a long fiber sphagnum that comes packaged dry & tightly compressed in brick form. It breaks apart easily, and fills out a lot once wet! A little goes a long way! To me, it smells like fresh earth. The moisture retention of this sphag inside of a humidity dome is incredible. It'd be perfect for a living terrarium. 🌿This particular brand, Exo Terra, had the best price that I could find after a pretty extensive search, so I was pleased about that. The only reason I didn't give this product 5 stars is because the packaging states it's a 2 pack (?) but I only received one brick. Idk what that's supposed to mean - is this single brick equivalent to a 2 pack of something else, or what? It's confusing and I'm still not sure if I got short changed.Aside from that, I'm extremely happy with the performance of this moss - it fluffs out nicely and retains moisture forever! My philo cutting has already started producing a root that look really healthy, and it's only been a couple of weeks!
