sphagnum Moss

[McRiddalin]

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.

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
