Adding Sphagnum to peat growing medium improves plant performance under water restricting conditions
The addition of Sphagnum to peat-based growing media (‘Sphagnum replacement’) influences plant performance. The primary physical effect of Sphagnum addition appears to be enhanced water retention. Good performance of plants cultivated in Sphagnum seems partly explainable in terms of its water retent...
