Have you had luck growing live sphagnum moss this way? Also, if you haven’t already, tap the subscribe button and join this amazing community that is growing faster than the plants!
The high quality New Zealand sphagnum moss that comes in dried bricks will come back to life. The heat treat is good, but not perfect. I started nepenethes seeds late March and can confirm I have live moss in my trays.
Sphagmoss by besgrow is the brand I am using. It has been 4 weeks under full spectrum led lights (80ppfd), 65-78°F, 100% RH, RO filtered water was used to water. Beside the live moss there is also small strands of grass, and some small plants (ferns?) growing in the containers as well.
Thank you!! I will have to give it a shot!! It is so cool to see others having this success. I was convinced after watching and reading other’s testimonies that it wasn’t possible. So I was completely shocked to see that it did. It is cool seeing others having the same success!!
@@Carnivorousplanthelp I had read the same thing in many forums. The one thing I did differently than you when I started my seedlings- I did NOT microwave the moss before putting it into the trays. Brand new humidity dome, trays, RO water, and brand new package of moss. Cool to know you can grow fresh moss with a bit of patience. Keep up the great videos!
@@Carnivorousplanthelp i forgot which one you said would revive when i got to lowes and grabbed the premium one. I'm just glad it's working. I couldn't find any info on brands that would work other than this video. I know the mosser lee stuff i started with is beyond dead though. Not good all around.
So glad I found your channel! I think TH-cam brought me here because of all the cannabis growing videos I've been watching. The first video I watched was about different carnivorous plants to control fungus gnats, I think. I don't have any carnivores, but I'm thinking about getting some Drossera for the grow room after watching that! Growing cannabis is becoming so popular. Hopefully some of the other new growers out there like me will find your channel and get some value out of it! Cheers!
Anyone who says LFS wont come back to life from dried stuff hasnt grown with it for long enough, it definitely does as you've proven here! Ive got multiple pots with it popping up and I also have never bought live stuff. I use the expensive NZ LFS from a local orchid place and it will definitely come back to life but it isnt 100% success for me. Some pots do and some dont. Currently Ive got 4 pots out of about 40 that have live sphagnum growing that came from the NZ LFS. Ive also got some growing in a pot that Im pretty sure only has peat, perlite and sand in it, so its possible to come from just peat too but doesnt seem as likely. Just found your channel today and enjoyed the video. Subscribed!
Thank you for your support!!! That is awesome you have it growing too. It is so cool seeing so many people having the same success. I thought it was a fluke, lol. I will have to try the NZ stuff as well!
I have live sphagnum popping up everyone (pots, terrariums, vivariums). It's like easy once the humidity is high. Can happen even in less humidity. Haven't noticed any particular brand being more likely but haven't been tracking closely. Also lot of grass. And ferns sometimes? But the ferns may just be from spores from my other ferns, I just have had ferns pop up in vivariums I never planted ferns into.
i bought sphagnum from home depot just to aid me with some of my propagations. noticed some of the moss was turning green. i didn't know this could happen ! what a surprise

That is awesome!!! I hadn’t heard that it will grow with the New Zealand moss. That is good to know!

Thank you!! I microwaved mine but not for very long. That probably helped.
Can confirm the lowes premium orchid moss does revive as well. After one month of doing a covered tub under a weak light i have new growth
Yeah it is crazy!!! It was such a cool thing to see. lol I thought I stumbled across something, lol

Yup that’s the right stuff!!

I have been getting the ferns too! It has to be in the moss. I couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. I figured just from the growers.
I have had the same experience 😊 Constant moisture and patience seem to be the key.
I’ve also had it pop up from a bale of peat.
Hey!! That is awesome!! That is so cool that it came up from a bale of peat! It’s incredible how tenacious plants can be.
i bought sphagnum from home depot just to aid me with some of my propagations. noticed some of the moss was turning green. i didn't know this could happen ! what a surprise
That’s awesome!!! Yeah it was a shock to me too. I found out strictly on accident!
Cool!
It was such a cool experience! I had no idea it was a possibility!!
have bought 3 bags over 20 years... all of them have shown green within 2 weeks and continued to grow new shoots from dry
That’s awesome!!! I was told by so many people that no way will it grow back lol. It is awesome to see others having the same results!!!
I've been trying my heart out to get this beautiful green sphagnum moss but all I get is dark green algeaaa!
I’m sorry to hear that. What type of conditions have you grown it? Maybe I can help! It might be that it is too wet!
What kind of water are you using?
Tap, well, filtered, etc.?
