Thanks for the helpful/encouraging responses you smart people!!

Unfortunately I don't know what species of sphagnum it is, I bought it on Etsy as simply live sphagnum moss

Just to update..
I think it's actually doing pretty well! The color has grown more vibrant and is noticeably "greener" (maybe because it's receiving less light?)

And also noticed an increase in general fluffiness and more finer hairs on the strands (bad description so check out the pics instead)

On the left: 6/26
On the right: today (7/09)







I have however noticed that a select few heads are developing brown and black tips, possibly from fertilizer or tips drying out faster



Overall though I am pretty excited and optimistic and it just looks SO CUTE!
