Almost all of our nursery carry little (1gal?) bags. While that is enough
for an air layer, for the price of about 2 1/2 bags you can get a whole
bale. I ask them to order it for me.

The green moss you see will probably work. To get the long fibered sphagnum
moss you will have to go to a regular full service nursery, and they may
have to order it for you. I usually have to have it ordered here, since
none of the nurseries normally carries it on stock.

When you have the nursery order sphagnum you need to be very clear that you
want the long fibered sphagnum, or you will likely end up with a bag of peat
moss.

I have not found anything in the archives about this topic. Around here
there is no sphagnum moss sold in stores but there is something called
green moss for hanging baskets. It is long and stringy like sphagnum,
but is green. Is there a big difference between the two or will the
green moss work for air layers just as well?
