Socially responsible production

At Sybotanica we not only want to make plants happy, but people happy as well. In our production team we exclusively hire people with a distance from the workforce, and help them rehabilitate to the normal working life.


Take Peter for example:

Peter has been with Sybotanica since the 1st hour, and has now been promoted to head of production & a permanent contract! Where he was the first employee, he now manages a team of 3 production workers.

What makes this achievement even more impressive is that Peter achieved all this with only 10% visibility! 🕶️ With a few minor adjustments to his working environment, Peter is able to perform his job 100%.

Peter has now been through two moves and knows all the ins & outs of Sybotanica. He can even feel by the potting soil which variety it is. That's quite a challenge with 16 different mixes!

We are confident that Peter will keep production running smoothly in the coming years too! 💪

FAQ

How long does Sphagnum Moss stay good?
Spaghnum Moss has no set expiry date and will stay fresh for many years if stored properly. On average, a batch of Sphagnum can last 2+ years

How to store Sphagnum Moss?
To expand the longevity of your moss, keep it slightly moist and in a bright location away from direct sunlight.
Don't let the moss dry out completely; this will significantly shorten its lifespan. If you keep it too wet, it risks rotting.
Make sure there is some airflow in the container to prevent rot & mould.

Where is sphagnum moss harvested? Is it sustainable?
Our sphagnum moss is harvested locally in The Netherlands, which helps to reduce transport and ecological impacts. It naturally grows in swamps and peatlands.
Sphagnum is quick to renew itself, making it a sustainable product.

We only harvest it in certain months, afterwards the ecosystem is left alone to restore. There are also certain bird species breeding there in summer, which block our harvesting.

Does sphagnum moss smell good?
It may have an earthy, swampy smell. Sphagnum is a live product.
Though, don't worry - as this is entirely normal. If stored correctly, moss should not develop nasty odors.

Any harsh, foul smells can signify rot or fungal growth. If this occurs, your moss was likely not stored correctly.

What is the difference between Sphagnum moss and Peat moss?
In terms of usage, peat moss is used (and loved by many) for its soil properties. It does a great job at growing plants.
Sphagnum mos is best used for growing cuttings & as an ammendment in certain soil species. Sphagnum and Peat moss belong to the same plant but are different products.

Peat moss is (partially) decomposed sphagnum moss. Sphagnum moss is the top layer of moss that grows on a swamp's surface. After harvesting, the plant will re-grow the sphagnum.
Harvesting sphagnum moss does not harm the ecosystem. It can restore afterwards.

Peat moss, on the other hand, is the layer under swamps. It forms the basis for natural vegetation.
This layer of moss takes hundreds of years to form, making it a very unsustainable product.
It does not renew itself easily and removing it poses a threat to the native flora and fauna.

Origin of our Sphagnum moss

Our Sphagnum moss is harvested from a local Dutch farm (one of the last in this country!) from a small boat, entirely by hand.
We visit this family-owned Sphagnum farm often. One of the main reasons we've been sourcing our Moss from this farm is their focus on protecting the natural habitat and the quality of the product.

During the summer months, the Sphagnum is mostly unavailable for harvest. This is due to multiple protected birds breeding in the area.

Heel tevreden

Mijn plant (snaily) doet het prima met het sphagnum moss. De plant was geplaagd door insecten en is ondertussen prima hersteld.

Always in my plant box

I can’t never get enough of this spagnum moss.
My plants love it and I am able to reproduce it.
I’ve bought some elsewhere before and the amount of debris was just too much for me.
Highly recommend this spagnum moss
