Haven't really seen many pictures of Sphagnum growing outside of a greenhouse, and was wondering if there is anybody out there growing it in normal windowsill conditions that's not covered by any sort of humidity dome (or just growing it outside).
I put some live sphagnum as a top layer on some of my nepenthes pots, and after a couple months, it finally seems to be acclimated, and is sending out little growth points everywhere.
The only thing is that these pots are a lot drier than they should be, I only water them once a week, so the media loses almost all of its moisture (it still retains some, just not a lot by the end of the week), and I've heard that when you grow sphagnum in drier conditions, it tends to get more compact, so I'm really excited for that as I can see how close together all the growth points are already. It does seem to grow a bit slower in these conditions.
Feel free to post pictures of your sphagnum here (regardless of where it's being grown...who DOESN'T love live sphagnum? )
