Spagmoss by besgro but if you can't find it, supermoss on amazon is a good choice.

Better Gro moss at Lowes is what I use.

Also, Andean moss (Peruvian or Chilean) on Ebay or Amazon is good quality.

One Mile Moss is the absolute best NZ lfsm. You might be able to find it at your local orchid nursery. It’s also the most expensive, but totally worth it. I won’t be able to use another brand after using One Mile. Supermoss used to be one of the better affordable lfsm in bulk, but they doubled in price on Amazon this year. Better Gro orchid moss is affordable and good quality, but comes in small quantities. I bought a 5 kg bale of Chilean lfsm and it was 95% debris. Whatever brand lfsm you decide to purchase, stay away from Mosser Lee. It’s the worst lfsm you can buy.

Hope you complained to the vendor. Every bag of Andean moss I've bought has been the equivalent of Besgrow.

+1 on staying away from Mosser. I used some as the substrate for my live moss culture and it turned disgusting in just a couple of months.

No, I bought it from Josh’s Frogs and in the product description, they mention that it doesn’t compare to premium NZ lfsm. I haven’t tried Andesmoss on eBay yet. I bought 6kg of One Mile Moss, so I will try some from Andesmoss when I get close to running out of One Mile.

Yes. It's the industry leader.
