Sphagnum papillosum
Sphagnum papillosum
Papillose peat moss (Sphagnum papillosum) is a bog-forming moss that requires consistently wet, acidic, nutrient-poor conditions to thrive. It is an excellent substrate choice for carnivorous plant growers or peat bog recreations, and should be watered with rainwater or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup. Avoid tap water and fertilisers, as this moss is highly sensitive to mineral salts.
