When you do the pulling do you put mainly peat moss then sphagnum on top?

Live sphagnum has antibacterial properties and protects the leaf from rotting sooner than it normally would.But to strike the plant do you put peat, then sphag moss, then the cutting or just sphagnum moss in a pot and put the leaf in it?
