In many pics, I've seen people have their Cp's in pots with live sphagnum inside the pots growing.
My question is, how do you do that? The first time I tried it the whole sphagnum dies within one day,
but when I have it with a plastic cover, it doesn't fry out. So how do you have living sphagnum without
it drying to the point where it does. Please if possible include pics. Thanks

I would say just take some live sphagnum and just put on the media of the plant. (Preferably, use Sphagnum as the media) Then make sure it is always moist and it will grow.
Hope it helps :)
