i am growing most of my plants in
Jiffy Peat Pellets. these pellets are made of
peat moss and are a good growing medium for germinating seeds. but once the seedlings' cotyledons begin to wither and their true leaves form, they begin photosynthesizing. at this point they need nutrients that the peat moss does not provide. when the first true leaves appear i start to add a
liquid fertilizer that is diluted by half to help my seedlings grow.
What is Canadian sphagnum peat moss?
➤ "Canadian sphagnum peat moss (CSPM) is partially decomposed sphagnum
moss. Sphagnum’s large cell structure enables it to absorb air and water
like a sponge. Although peat moss does not contain nutrients, it does
adsorb nutrients added to or present in the soil, releasing them over
time as the plants require. This saves valuable nutrients which are
otherwise lost through leaching." (from
