Live Sphagnum Moss

Product Review (submitted on January 31, 2016):

I ordered this about a month ago (perhaps a little longer) and it has grown a forest of sphagnum! I ended up getting what I could probably estimate to about 30 strands, instead of eight! I ordered this with my dionaea muscipula King Henry thinking it would be a side project, but it is pretty much just as fun as growing a Venus Flytrap!

The shipping was kind of slower than I was expecting from the way other people celebrated. But, I guess once it is getting shipped, it is out of FlytrapStore's hands.

The plant is like some sort of fun science experiment! It is always cool to see how well plants can grow! When it arrived, it came carefully packaged with newspaper padding, and it was in a plastic bag. All I had to do was get a clear plastic bin, and got a plastic cover. After a month, it exploded with growth! The cover keeps the humidity in, so I haven't had to water it since I first prepared it for growth. I am kind of surprised to see how this type of moss actually grows. Originally I thought it was just horizontal growth, but it turns out it grows like some sort of unusual tree. Sort of like a palm tree!

Overall, this is a really interesting plant (It is a plant, isn't it?). I would recommend this to anyone who likes experiments, and seeing how things can morph! Thank you so much FlytrapStore! You continue to impress me with your amazing plants and plant care!
