To make sure that the heads don’t die in a short period of time, you have to spray them with water at least once a day to clean off the accumulations of tannins which tend to blacken the tips of the sphagnum. If you need just a small quantity of sphagnum to use for some carnivorous plant, it might be enough to put the heads in vases of the plants you already have, as long as they have a substrate of peat, or a mix of peat and perlite. Instead, for what concerns the choice of the substrate, it depends on what you want to obtain.
The water has to be strictly demineralised (or, if you live in the countryside or in places without smog, you can use also rainwater). The essential element in the cultivation of the sphagnum is water.
