I bought some bags of Chilean Sphagnum at Lowe's. This is the Ultra-Premium yellowish orange moss used for orchids. Extra clean. But one bag was heavy and moist an GREEN!. Usually they are light and dry, but one had moist live Chilean Sphagnum in it. I could not believe it. It is now growing well in my greenhouse.
