Yamagoke - Dried Japanese Mountain Moss for Surface Root Protection
Please note the new reduced pack size - these are 100g / 2.3 liters. The previous "bricks" were 300g / 8 liters.Yamagoke is the go-to for a surface covering after repotting shohin & mame bonsai, and for shallow-rooted species like azaleas, crepe myrtle, etc. It is leaps and bounds better than sphagnum moss. It readily re-wets, it is a naturally smaller size, permitting it to nest better to resist being removed during watering, and in some cases "comes back to life" during the growing season. Being a true moss, it will not invade your soil with roots, should it spring back to life, but instead give you a nice, green carpet over your soil. Yamagoke is Leucobryum bowringii and is not in the Sphagnum family. They have vastly different characteristics, with Leucobryum being significantly superior in every way.The image of an expanded pack is in a gallon size ziplock bag.
