I know you can grow Sphag on the same medium you grow the carnivorous plants on. Plus I had heard maybe it will grow on just water? But could I grow it on just dry Sphag I have around as extra? I wanted to ask before I set up trays for this stuff to grow and find out doing this was some terrible idea.

Here is my live sphag on top of dead sphag. Only a couple weeks old and growing like crazy. It's in a terrarium. And I keep it good and wet by spraying it with a spray bottle a couple times a day.

Cool, I set my containers up a few days ago and they seem to be doing well. It's something I can let the little ones help with due to the spray bottle not being heavy. Can't wait to see some new growth on them when it happens. I got a pack of moss and it has a few colors of Sphagnum in it.
