Wow, all this information has tempted me to try sphag to get a cym psbulb going. I live in NORTHERN BC, Canda and we have acres and acres of Sphag. It all grows in fairly acidic conditions (bogs) and prefers cool temperatures. We have at least 3 different species and they all tolerate -40 (Celcius) in the winter and up to 30 (C) in the summer. It is buried by snow 6+ months of the year, but still seems to grow like crazy as long as it has moisture. It can tolerate being underwater for a few weeks, but definitely prefers being moist-wet...not underwater. I'm definitely going to bring some home and give it a try! thanks!
