I recently setup my new indoor sphagnum farm for a self sustaining source of live moss.
This is using some sphagnum from Florida I'm hoping it will be content growing indoors and in terrariums year round unlike northern temperate sphagnum which tends to get unhappy after a while indoors.
The box is a 60 quart clear tub with clear lid
The substrate is sphagnum peat moss and sand
Step 1: Trimming the top 2-3 inches of live portions from the ropes of live moss
Step 2: Placing the pieces of live sphagnum into holes poked in the substrate with a pencil.
Step 3: I mist the finished planting heavily with 10-1 water & peroxide solution to kill any fungi which might be lurking.
Step 4: Wait...
Will show some more pics later when it grows in.
