Mist them and place them in a Tupperware, I don't advise closing it as bacteria might develop and you would get ugly yuck and no sphagnum. In a few days/weeks, you should be able to see growth in the moist, aerated tray. They do need light, a warm windowsill or a lamp will do.

How do you grow sphagnum moss from dry moss?

If you can't find live sphagnum even at a nursery, buy a bale of dried moss. Take a few handfuls, place it in a plastic bag, and saturate it with rain or distilled water. Place the bag in indirect sunlight and keep moist until you notice green new growth. This may take up to two weeks.
