So what's going on now?
Should I spray a fungicide?

Its quite hard to see, but it sees they are "bleaching", how much sun do they get and did they dry out recently?

i'd say 5h of sunshine is not nearly enough, id try to give them at least 12h a day of indirect sun

Hi. I am growing CPs and apparently purchased some SM to cover the substrate. However, compared to the ones I see on video tutorials, here, and other sources, the sphagnum dies, turning brown. In contrast with the remaining mosses which I placed in a terrarium, they grow well. Now, would it be better to just let my CPs grow without the SM or will they revive soon too?
I don't know how they do it, but my CPs need direct sunlight which kills the moss... any tips?
