I’m glad you’re getting into Bonsai, it is a wonderful hobby and lots of great people as well. In Florida you can find Sphagnum moss at most larger nurseries, or even home improvement stores. However I’m not sure why you would use that instead of soil. It holds way too much water for healthy roots, and you need the aggregate of bonsai mix to help roots split. If you are really just geeting into bonsai try to find a local club. They’ll be happy to show you what they use. However you can always use me as a resource as well.
