Okay so I ordered premium New Zealand long fiber sphagnum moss (Not the live one). Accidentally had it shipped to my parents house and not knowing it was time sensitive they forgot to give the package to me and it sat unopened on the counter for 5-7 days. :/ did I ruin it?

It's dead moss, so no. It's the same as any other type of dirt, so no reason for it to go bad for being in a box. You could keep it there pretty much indefinitely.

Why would you think it's time sensitive? It's dead and dried moss.

No its fine medium, it will still soak up the water and maybe even grow back live moss, it might not 100% grow live but i have done it before from dead sfag moss. Im going to be doing a test soon to see if i can get some more growing as ive moved houses and want to start a fresh batch! Happy growing!
