A plant organism, preferably sphagnum moss or reindeer moss is stabilized against dusting while maintaining its water absorption characteristics using glycerine, sprayed onto the moss as an undiluted mist or as a solution of glycerine in water, with less than 15% by weight of glycerine. Undiluted glycerine is sprayed onto sphagnum moss in an amount of 0.9 kg or less per kg of moss, and onto reindeer moss at about 2/3 that rate. The solution is sprayed onto the plant material in a sufficient quantity to supply at least the same amount of glycerine, with excess quantities being removed by squeezing or evaporation. The resultant product is resistant to the degeneration into dust that is characteristic of untreated moss, while the water absorption properties of the moss are retained. The products are useful in horticulture, in floral applications and most other applications where the dry material has been used in the past.
