To answer your questions , is very difficult, because i don't know your growing climate , being micro climate, , sphag moss makes lots of spores and can regenerate very quickly when quality water is supplied , but it needs the correct condition to grow !! so it needs a good supply of rain water, good light like a early spring day, like all most full sun but Coolish conditions , and very good ventilation , like air blowing over it most of the time , , this increases the evaporation rate allowing it to grow quickly , it likes to be water over head and not to dry out ,humidity must be high around 70% for it to do well and temps about 20 c day time is great as the temp rises it slows growth and as its get cooler it all so slow es , cool nights are good as well, where mine grow best is where constant water is dripping into it and get good misting all day as well like , mine gets 4 min at a time every 2 hours 8 times a day and it like some fertilization to some non urea fert at 10% strength every 2 weeks helps , it like to be wet but not drenched , so good drainage is best as well mine grows on matting above the ground , in benches i made to put the nep pots on , it works well , all these condition are for nepenthe plants just so happens the moss likes it very much as well
