This is where my damaged or sick plants go. It's the only place my D. glabripes seems to stay alive but I need to figure out a taller, more permanent home for them. VFTs with damaged roots do well here along with a volunteer pine seedling. I keep it at 95%+ humidity so it may not work for everything.

It's normally would be a more red color but it turns this color after being under my LEDs for a bit.

I don't

It took me several months just to get that tray full. I just let it spread on its own but it can be done faster.

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I have a similar area, but green sphagnum. The green on purple contrast is amazing! If you want to sell or trade a small pinch of that sphagnum, please let me know.

I'll try to start propagating some. I just put another species of red under LEDs. I'm curious what the color will do.

Wow!!!!! That purple sphag is awesome. Think of me if you ever do get enough to sell.

I would ask for some too, but I grow my sphagnum on the bottom of my terrarium so the reds always turn green.
