I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Daylilies
The milled sphagnum moss I used to purchase to help prevent damping off is no longer sold at my local garden center. I usually used this for my annual flower and vegetable seeds. This year however, I have used the "organic" seed starting mix (for my dayliliy seeds) which contains coconut fibers. I am having damping off of my seedlings which I've never had happen in five plus years of growing my daylily seedlings during the winter months.

Can I use perlite on the surface of the soil to help combat damping off? Not sure how to remedy the problem for my poor seedlings.

Any input is appreciated, thank you!
