Is this good for orchids and house plants?

This is a good quality sphagnum moss that will be adequate for orchids but I couldnt comment on house plants. Research the species you want to keep as sphag is not optimal for all orchids. If you are keeping phalaenopsis I would mix this with sungrows phalaenopsis bark and put it in a pit with a lot of ventilation. Never let the water stagnate and warer it when the media dries and the roots turn grey in color.

is this suitable for succulents

Probably not. It would be better to use a more sandy or small gravel for succulents as they are indigenous to the dessert.

How big is the bag? Dimensions say 1x1x1

14 inches long x 8 inches wide x 4 inches thick. It was a bigger bag than I needed

Can this be used to create a moss pole?

Hello .... The packaging for this product says it's "excellent for lining wire baskets and topiary forms". The packaging also claims that this "long fibered" moss "retains moisture and fertilizer" making it "an excellent growing medium for plants." The packaging does not mention moss pole. Hope this helps. Please contact us should you have any other questions. Thank you. Renee from HikerMomUSA
