FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I have been looking for red sphagnum moss for quite a while now but i just cant seem to find any. if there is someone who knows where i can get a small amount to get my own culture started it would be appreciated!

pitcherplant.org has some good stuff, many members have purchased from them. Plus, if you're lucky, you may find hitchhikers. One member found (I think) 14 Sarracenia seedings in his order.

they seem to have a lot of great items in store, but unfortunately they are located outside of the EU. Since last year my country has this new rule that all packages from outside of the EU have to go through customs, which takes an additional 1-2 weeks and costs an extra administration fee +21% taxes.

so im really looking for a store located in the EU.

Just an FYI - It's a good idea to include this information in your original post, so people don't waste their time or yours with options that you can't use.

I thought posting in the EU/UK was enough to specify my search area :p, but ill keep it in mind and appreciate any kind of help.

D'oh! Sorry, my mistake. Maybe I should try paying more attention to the forum name....

No some is green

Well relative to your question, Spag can come in variations of red or pink. There is many forms, ranging from green, to tan, to other types.

and depending on the season (light intensity i suppose) the colors also change. ive got a species that green year round, but also one that goes from green to brown/orange during winter.

so i just received my package, and it turns out i just paid €12 for two single heads of red sphagnum.

in my experience the site above can not be recommended.
