🌿 What Are The Different Kinds Of Sphagnum Moss 🌱 (I have 4 species and they don't grown the same)

Remy great content 👍🏼

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Thanks 😊 Do you grow live sphagnum?

[@mbunaorchid]

@@WindowsillNepenthes nope not yet but great information so I probably will ✌🏻

I live in Florida USA and I found a small colony of sphagnum growing on my property, I separated a few heads from the colony that was growing wild and now I have trays of it and the wild sphagnum replicated and is bigger than when I first took a few heads from it , I will have to do some research to see exactly what species I have though . I also had sphagnum grow from dried moss from the garden store , I use it for substrate for my nepenthes. I have been told it’s very hard if not impossible but after 6-7 months of constant hydration I have a colony of that stuff too.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Actually it will depends of the sphagnum you get. High quality LFS from New Zealand is sterilized so nothing re-grow. But if I let my sphagnum dru totally for 6 months, it will be so dead i can powder it. But water it again an some seeds (?) will regrow. This thing is immortal haha

Are you selling those hoodies? I think they look really cool

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Super vidéo Rémi!

Ohh that is so cool sir remy. At 2:36, the diff sphagnum, i thought they were just the sane. I know it is a long shot sincs i heard sphagnum can only be really identified microscopically. But i have similar and all along i thought they were same. That the more spikey was just the more mature version of the first one you showed. Really cool. I hope one day i get to send samples abroad so i can ask them to identify mine

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Oh yes, ID sphagnum is impossible to me haha 😄

[@randomthings92497]

@@WindowsillNepenthes hahaha definitely. One day i hopw to be able to id mine. But by keeping them alive after all your helpful tips and guides i am very happy already. Thanks again for all your content sir

Very good video, who knew there were different types of sphagnum moss!? But that’s why plants are so fascinating, there is always something new to learn…thank you! 🌿

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Thank you for the kind words ☺️

great content, yet again!

You should consider fertilizing the sphagnum with dilute Maxsea, if you're not already doing it. It really helps with the growth.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I don't do it for the sphagnum but when I spray (once week) with diluted fertilizer, I spray everything (sphagnum, seedlings, adult plants etc.). So yes, I believe that helps the live sphagnum to grow better. Also I use rainwater so there is also nutriments in it. ;)

Want to grow some Sarracenia in an old recycle bin and I want to get some live sphagnum moss as a top dressing to help keep humidity in.

[@westsidecarnivores]

thanks for this video!

[@haryowijnatama7231]

Hey Remy! So i have not seen any cheap live sphagnum in my country, do you think weeping moss and jungle moss is Ok for nepenthes?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

That I don't know that. But if you want to try, let the moss submerged under water for 24h so bugs and pest dies or escape.

[@haryowijnatama7231]

@@WindowsillNepenthes ohh ok, thank you!

[@IMHobby121]

Do you know the names of the red one and the chunky one? Thanks and God Bless!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Sadly no, I'm not an expert. ;)

[@odysseyorchids9507]

Hello my new friend where do I acquire these different kinds more importantly where did you get yours from ? Can I buy a small amount of each from you ? Let a fellow grower know

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Sorry I don't have seeds for sell but you can order some here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmHZnGuQjqeHd9k

[@odysseyorchids9507]

@@WindowsillNepenthes I was referring to the moss my guy. I’m an orchid grower that found your channel by way of spag moss. You have great info and thanks for uploading cheers mate

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@odysseyorchids9507 haha sorry ;) I got my live sphagnum from forums. But post in the Facebook group Carnivorous Plant Society of Canada and people should have some. ;)

[@hannibaltheanimal9836]

Where can u get red sphagnum?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I would try on Facebook or forums. ;)

[@jasonwilliams6475]

Hey Remy, Great Videos! Maybe you could help me. I have a jelly like substance forming on the top of my pots of sphagnum moss. How do you fix that? I have nepenthes seeds in this pot and don't want to lose them. Please help!! thanks

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Scoop it out and possibly spray hydrogen peroxide. But if it comes back and the seedlings are 1 cm, consider repotting in fresh substrate ;) but careful with the roots.

Genial
