Over the years I've adapted to growing in it, and have even begin using sphagnum in small basket pots. For me, a real key to sphagnum has been the air flow around the plants - and through the pots. In the basket pots I use the sphagnum dries out in 36 to 48 hours. The root growth on my plants thusly potted has been far better than those more traditionally potted. I'm more anti- those clear flimsy plastic grow pots so many growers are using than I am the sphagnum they fill them with.
