The paste that sunnybird1277 is talking about, is available at any Bonsai nursery. Cost about $10 dollars.

Where ever you use it there will be no growth, it protects the plant from disease and keeps moisture in.

THANKS FOR THE DETAILED INFORMATION! Jerry

There is a cut paste, for such cuts you know.

Bonsai pros use it.

Hi, No, I am not familiar with it. Would you be so kind as to share the name of this paste, if you know it? Thanks! Jerry

(Cont.) Everything, just about, seems to grow well here in the sub tropics. The s.moss method seems to be quite well suited to this climate. Because the plants are just about always in a growth mode, versus a hibernation in colder climates during winter, maybe that is why they thrive so well here. We need a horticulteralist to perhaps explain some of this. Jerry

Great video, it really amazes me how medicinal sphagnum moss is to the trees root system. Do you think that root system recovers so well do to the natural acid nature of the sphagnum moss? Is that what prevents most of the fungal, bacterial, and disease problems associated with growing in regular dirt or soil. Perhaps that is why we can cut and prune as severely as we do and yet the trees generally recover and begin to thrive in our Florida growing climate.

Hi Dutch, I don't understand the biochemical processes that allows the sphagnum moss to be as beneficial as it has proved to be. The fungal, bacterial, and other disease problems may be deflected by the s.moss merely because there is no soil contamination, and perhaps the ph levels do contribute to this property of s.moss. In Florida, lots of the "soil" is sand, as the state was under the seas in the geologic past.. So growing in sand is kind of a hydroponic growth method. (Cont. below)
