| It is widely acknowledged that due to its moisture-holding properties Angel Moss provides a sympathetic base for lining hanging baskets.
Every part of Angel Moss is permeated with minute tubes and spaces resulting in a system of delicate capillary cells, having the effect of a very fine sponge. The cells readily absorb water and retain it to a capacity of up to 20 times its dry weight. This means that 1lb of dry Angel Moss can hold up to 2 gallons of water. And since Angel Moss liners absorb so much water, retain that water and transfer that water so well, your plants will always be maintained in top condition. Angel Moss really is ‘Nature’s Sponge’. |
