Only one way. Put the moss into a bucket, pour water on top, and do a little
kneading.

Never pot a plant in dry moss, for this reason.

Same thing with granulated peat.

One final item---wear gloves and consider a mask when working with dry
_Sphagnum_. Kneading the moss is a great way to get micro-cuts that
could get you Sporotrichosis.
