Chickita,

Have you checked the roots. Many people have a hard time with keeping the right amount of moisture with sphagnum moss. It might be easier to use a bark orchid mix. Before switching anything, I would check the condition of the roots in the moss. Let us know if they are green and firm or brown and mushy. The mushy ones must go.
