why thank you, you are so kind. I got 3 gallons of that already, and Neon Signs are not needed to find the Dews. Probably harder to find the moss than the Dews
got my moss in yesterday everything looks good too I wish I would've found some dews in my batches :-( however I still have one more bag to go through tomorrow

This sphagnum moss looks absolutely gorgeous.......... Just curious though, should one have reservations on bringing in an outdoor source of sphagnum and placing it in an indoor garden? Are you doing some type of flush before placing the material within your garden? just wondering............ THANKS
I actually made a point of bringing this same thing up in post #15..
"2. Keep in mind this is all wild collected LFS. So the presence of bugs and insects is probably a given. Be sure to take precautionary measures before use. Personally, I submerge the LFS in a bucket of water for a few hours. That usually does the trick.. "
I've seen ants, spiders, pill bugs, etc.. But the LFS being underwater for a few hours flushes these things out, and in a hurry. I've been using this wild collected LFS on my indoor pots for years. As long as the precautionary measures are taken, I've yet to have any sort of bug related problems indoors.
Just an FYI to those of you that have gotten LFS..
2 weeks ago I stuck a little less than a half gallon of moss in a tray in the outdoor GH. At that time, there were 0 visible sundews.
Just went out and took a look today, and I can see at least 30 D. rotundifolia with little to no effort of looking for them.
Your tweezers would have more to do if you stick that LFS under lights for a week or two. Before the bug flush of course.. I was amazed at how many seeds germinated in that one little clump of moss during the past 2 weeks.
Wrapped the purps in my bog in this LFS, and upon checking on them today I found tons of GIANT D. rotundifolia plants. Couldn't believe how big they were..
Upon putting the LFS in, I saw nothing. Guess they were dormant..
