Live sphagnum moss is the ideal growing medium for many carnivorous plants including sundews, butterworts, and Nepenthes. This item is exactly one quart of live moss. Shipped slightly dry, simply place the live moss in a bowl of distilled or spring water to fully hydrate the mass. You can plant many carnivorous plants directly into the moss. In fact, many tropical Nepenthes prefer to grow in live sphagnum moss over other growing mediums. Why not give live sphagnum moss a try for your carnivorous plants?
