Not totally sure if this is the right place to post this but,
I bought some new sundews and this moss started growing out of it and i'm wondering if it's sphagnum or just some random moss. I've never seen live sphagnum in person so if anyone could help identify it that'd be awesome.

That is star moss or sheet moss. Not sphag. This is live sphag.

It might be hard to tell the difference, but the moss tips in KategoricalKarnivore's sphagnum picture is are also much larger than your star moss.
