I had another thought on this... if the spaghnum seems to dry too fast, you could add a tiny bit of potting soil or peat moss to it. Back to what happens in nature... down in those cracks in the rock, there is moisture and rotting detritus to nourish the roots. So if the sphagnum seems too "inorganic", perhaps just add a pinch of additional organic matter to it.
