Just my two cents. I use it for just about everything. My Sarrs. and
Neps do better in it, as do more vigorous Drosera and Pings. Mine grows
enough to have some for new plants, divisions, etc, but not enough for
my needs. I can find it locally, I have no idea of the quality of
purchased moss, but EFO and other suppliers list availability.
