For my Darlingtonia, I use pure Sphagnum moss--the kind they sell for
Orchids: Dried New Zealand sphagnum moss. They seem to love it. All
of my Darlingtonia are doing very well. That medium is very expensive
though. A small bag is about $9.00. Interestingly enough, the moss
seems to be coming back alive it is very green and healthy in some of
my older Darlingtonias.
Does anyone know if this kind moss is an acceptable substitute for live
sphagnum? Since live Sphagnum moss is extremely hard to get a hold of,
what do most of you use for a substitute? Or where do you get your
live sphagnum?
