It is difficult to wet, but once wet it retains water like a sponge, meaning it reduces drainage of water from soil.

The plant color, the shape of the leaves growing around the stems, and the shape of the green cells are characteristics used to identify peat moss to species.Photographs: Closeup of Sphagnum sp. plants. Line Drawings: Sphagnum sp.ndividual peat moss plants consist of a wiry main axis with small clusters of soft, floppy side branches. The top of the plant has compact clusters of young branches. The side branches consist of a series of more-or-less overlapping, cup-shaped, or spear-shaped leaves.
