^^^ Def keep the tillandsias off the ground...
We have 'em in 3 separate vivariums. One with fans - the other two DON'T have fans OR much ventilation... I haven't had one rot yet. They've been in the older vivs for 7-8 months or so with no issues.
(mexican, peanut, ionantha ionantha are the oldest ones)
Some tillandsias are more prone to rotting out than others from what we understand.
Ours are all mounted on the backgrounds or on mopani... All using nothing but hot glue. None have sphagnum around them... A few have spanish moss in close proximity - but that's mainly because the spanish moss found the little tilly and grabbed on for life.
So in other words - no - I wouldn't wrap 'em in sphagnum. They enjoy drying out a bit between mistings.
