sphagnum Moss

I'm trying to get my humidity up and do not know where to find sphagnum moss? Any help would be appreciated.

Check your local pet store. They usually have moss.

I try to support local mom and pop pet stores but if they don't have it, You might be able to find a bag of it at a big store like petsmart.

I was given this tip for buying moss from someone on this site - go to:

http://www.tropicalplantproducts.com/ContactUs.aspx

They are in Florida and will ship you a kilo of it - it lasts a long time and is clean/free of bugs.

Regards,

You can ususally find sphagnum moss at a nursery or other places that sell gardening supplies.

Good idea. Many will sell a few different varieties. Watch out for fertilizers or other chemicals added to the stuff sold at nurseries and garden centers.

sphagnum moss is easy to find at any orchid/tropical/carnivorous plant nurseries. Californiacarnivores.com sells very large bales of sphagnum for ~$15. :)

Moss is great at holding himidity, it is also great at attracting fungus gnats and phorid flies, they are harmless but super annoying. Fair warning
