Default Propagating Live Sphagnum moss

Tried doing a search about how to propagate live sphagnum moss, but couldn't find any on the forum.

Okay might be a simple question for some, but I have very little experience with Live Sphagnum. Except that recently I have a pot of drosera that came with some nice live sphagnum moss medium.

Now I use dried Sphagnum moss as my medium in my droseras, VFTs and Sarracenias (I don't use them on nepenthes though). I was hoping to propagate some of those live moss into the pots of other plants.

Would like to request for tips on how to do it.

I already tried my first experiment by just pulling out a bit of the live moss at a time and "planting" them on top of the dried sphagnum moss medium. Would this work?

How can I make them multiply faster and cover the whole pot quicker?

Thanks in advance!

TTFN
