Living Sphagnum is much more aesthetically pleasing! Live moss is great for
Sarracenia. For small Drosera and Pinguicula one must be careful that the
living moss does not overgrow the cps. Since the moss can be thinned or
pressed back, this is really only a problem with seedlings or very small
plants.
