Quality and Botanical Commitment
1. Live and Exclusive Sphagnum Moss At EUSPAGNE, we take taxonomy very seriously. Each portion of moss is delivered in an individual container, correctly labeled with its specific botanical species.
Note on color: As this is living matter, hues may vary from photographs due to lighting, the season, or the plant's own genetics. This natural diversity is a guarantee that you are receiving a living, authentic product, not an artificial reproduction.
2. 3D Designs and Botanical Art Our 3D printing section is more than just decoration. We offer technical planters and relief art designed specifically for the cultivation and aesthetics of carnivorous plants, using durable, high-quality materials.
3. Precision Tools We know that success in cultivation depends on the details. That is why we provide you with the same measuring tools that we use ourselves. Correctly measuring water parameters is the key to maintaining your demanding species in optimal conditions.
Sphagnum Quinquefarium
Sphagnum quinquefarium (Live Inoculum)
Morphology & Diagnosis: A species within the Acutifolia section, named for its defining taxonomic trait (quinquefarium): the arrangement of branch phyllids in five distinct vertical rows (five-ranked). Another unique diagnostic feature is the architecture of its fascicles, which typically comprise three spreading branches instead of the standard two found in related species.
Ecology & Habit: Unlike open bog species, this bryophyte is preferentially sylvatic and sciophilous (shade-loving). It thrives on moist mineral soils, rocky slopes, and under the canopy of coniferous forests in montane regions. It is a rare species in trade due to its specific habitat requirements.
Chromatism: It exhibits a broad phenotypic range. While shade forms are pale green or yellowish (xanthophyllous), under suitable conditions, it develops secondary pigments resulting in pink, bright red, or vinaceous coloration, aiding in its visual identification in situ.
Supply Format: Live inoculum portion: 6 x 3 cm (approx).
