spaghnum

I was removing some Spaghnum moss that was trying to take over my falconeri this morning. As I pluck a sprig of moss I also got my falconeri. And then I dropped it. After working for some time I was able to get it into the dirt again the way it looked before. Will it go into shock and die or...

Hi all. I acquired a d. paradoxa in a trade recently. Well, it appeared to die off after I stupidly put it in some standing water. But, I moved it and put it in a more suitable environment (higher temp, humidity without standing water). But, I dont know if its in the proper substrate. It was...

Hey is it possible to grow Spaghnum from dried Spaghnum??? Ive been hearing rumors that you can grow it from the dried stuff but adding Buttermilk/Yogurt to a blender with the dried Spaghnum. I was told that the Buttermilk/Yogurt acts as a fertilizer for the moss. Let me know what you think of...

I was wondering what people on this board use to decorate the top of their CP soil besides lIVE SPAGHNUM. For example rocks and etc. I would like to do something with the soil, but I have no idea what to do. Thanks!!

Hey, i got alot of seeds from noah a year ago, now they have grown and are flowering like crazy since i have the pots on the bottom of my mini green house ontop of 1-2" of spag moss and LFS, should i let them flower and the seeds go on the bottom? it would be neat looking but would the roots...

Here it is. Also this: My CP Terrarium To the left are a pair of N. Sanguinea and then my N. Ventricosa to the right. In the middle are spaghnum moss growing. In front of the rock of the N. Ventricosa is D. Alaciae. Thanks Spectabilis73 for the help.

I've got some Green Dragons from this site that are on the way. I have a round fishbowl type terrarium that I guess is about a gallon in capacity. I just mixed 50/50 spaghnum peat and perlite for the whole thing about 4 inches deep. I will leave it uncovered as the sides should keep humidity up...

I have a potted d. spath and an unknown nepth where the lfs has sprouted. My question is, at what point for either of these plants is the moss competing with the plant for space? Should I repot and remove all the living moss, or just remove what is around the plant crown? Finally, I'd like to...

Are there any carnivorous plants that can not survive in pure spaghnum moss? When it comes down to it seems like every carnivorous plant can survive in pure spaghnum moss. Is this true? If that is true (to a certain point) wouldn't that be a good receipt for beginners (like me) than mixing soils...

How much perlite should you add to a 6in. by 6 in. pot? It is filled to the top with canadian spaghnum peat moss.. Should you add a whole bag that you buy from here? (Edited by crabyplanton at 1:27 pm on Mar. 19, 2002)

When potting up plants---in the Spring---what do you guys do about the medium that are in the existing pots? I'll be increasing the pot size of my VFT and Sarr's; I'm considering placing fresh peat (mixed with perlite) at the bottom of the pots, then taking plant and all medium that is in the...

Hi I desperately need to get my 20-gal. tank set up but I have been procrastinating for one main reason. I am afraid that the tank will be too heavy for me to move it once its set up. I need to be able to slide it out and away from the lighting to get into it. My current little 10-gal. is set...
