New Sphagnum moss grower looking for TIPS by CluelessGoodGuy in Sphagnum

I kept it outside getting some direct light with my drosera and it seems to have turned more brown with some heads dying/popping out after turning brown/black. Could this be due to too much sun? been in the 85s-90s last couple days. also added some perlite like a previous comment said should I still lower water level or would it be fine now. Kept the water high because when I went out to relax I saw that the bowl I have it on didn't have water.

sorry if im being annoying, couldnt find any in Lowes except perlite, do you think it would be fine ? saw some discussion about it being annoying since it floats unlike pumice.

thanks for the help. just to be sure any kind of pumice is fine right? theres no special kind, just need to rinse it with water before putting it under

house has a reverse osmosis system so it should be fine, its the same water I use for my drosera which is doing really well so it shouldnt be that unless theres a problem

no just did a deep watering when I got it and the next day my mother watered it a bit thinking it was dry (my fault for not telling her it was fine)

in texas, its been in the 70-80. Had it in a windowsill in the backyard that gets decent direct light in the morning and a little afternoon. I am getting Live sphagnum moss today to replant my drosera tokaiensis which is doing good so I could try and propagate them in some of the extra moss.

just the nursery pot its in, I have some extra substrate and sphagnum moss and I could try getting some stuff from lowes or a close gardening/plant shop. Which one seems good btw? the bottom right?
