So I have a 40L brick of spagmoss. This is too much for me right now so how do I store it? And is it possible to break off part of the brick so the rest remain dry?

That's a bunch of LFSM! I would say breaking pieces off is the way to go. That's what I've been doing since my media mixes are primarily peat moss and I top dress with LFSM. Don't forget to rinse!

i break off pieces of ours as we need it, and keep ours in a sealed bag in a random cabinet in the house figured cool/dark/sealed up but I don't know if that is the best we tend to use our small stash and are turning it over regularly

Sometimes I find that I mix too much media for the occasion and I've had good success freezing wet lfsm for later use. Of course, you don't have to freeze it if it's still dry.

I love sundews.
