Sphagnum Moss. Any difference ?

[Fairorchids]

Long long ago, my dad had a permit to collect live moss in a local forest. It worked just fine.

I use spaghnum for all my seedlings and compots (mixed w a little bark & charcoal), as well as my Vandaceous plants in net pots & baskets. Some of the less expensive spaghnums contain a lot of cranberry vines, fern spores and other 'contamination'. Since I chop the spaghnum for use in seedling pots, even the less expensive spaghnum is OK, as long as I stay on top of the weeding.
