Bought some live moss. It's dry. Do I need water it?

What kind of moss is it?

I personally use organic sphagnum moss. I moisten it with dechlorinated fw.

Here is what I got. No instructions with it. Is it supposed to be soaked?

Yup, to rehydrate just soak with dechlor water, squeeze out the excess an go. If it gets mouldy, try wetting with saltwater to prevent mould (warning, it may get pretty brown).

Or add dry if you wish.
