Question
I have a Hummer's Giant that  I ordered from you earlier this year and its is growing in an African Violet pot. The soil mixture is 1 part peat moss, 1 parts perlite, and 1 part silica sand. Can I use live Sphagnum moss as a top dressing?

Answer
I don't recommend it at this time.  The moss grows very rapidly, much faster than the Cephalotus.  Within a couple months, your poor Cephalotus would be smothered by the moss!  Wait until the plant is much larger before using live sphagnum as a top dressing.  Of course, this will take a few years!  For now, you can top dress the soil with silica sand.  It will give your pot a nice, neat appearance.

Good growing!
