The moss dries up within an hour, or less. Roots on my vandas and Mokara don't look as healthy as my friends' who grow theirs with more moss in the basket.

That said, I need to stop procastinating about adding more sphag moss in my vanda basket so I don't have to water/mist several times a day.
weather is quite different even in the same state(sometime city). If your moss is
bone dry after 1 hours then more moss will help. For me moss is the kiss
of death. Everybody has different environment, it is for individual to find out
the differences. Great one!
