Hey guys, so just a quick question about live sphagnum moss. I live in Victoria and we have moss growing randomly and like a weed everywhere. I have a ton in my backyard. I just scraped a bunch off of the rock wall and put it in a pot on top of some peat sand mix and put it in the room with my CPs, not directly with them but enough to get some light and hopefully start growing. Now the question is, is this what they are selling for 20 bucks a tray at the nursery? If so, why can't I just use this with my plants, just as a top dressing, or can I even use it as a medium? Any input is appreciated, and I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I haven't found anything exactly like this. Lastly, I know there are something like 8000 species of moss, so I probably can't tell exactly what I have, but what are the chances that it will actually do harm to my plants, I don't use fertilizer in my yard as I have a dog, so will the moss itself hurt? Thanks:D

They are doing great bud. You'll have to come by and check out my setup, thanks again for the lights too. I definitely want some moss but I wasn't sure how to get it cheap. I definitely didn't want to buy it full price lol. Can I just grow it on the side and add to pots to hopefully spread.

Yea no worries, i'v got two h u g e tubs of our native s.rubellum going so we have you covered there Yip that's exactly what you should do. It helps keep a good ambient humidity in the area too. Good to hear about the dews! Anytime on the lights. If there's one thing i'v got it's lights lol Next three days off, shoot me a text bub...
