more sphagnum questions

I recently ordered a bunch of spagnum that was described as 'live,
partially dried.' I would really like to know how to green it up again.
Obviously, it needs to be re-hydrated, but submersion is not a good idea,
probably. I have several practice batches in various configurations (in
pots sitting in trays, in trays sitting in water, etc.) The bulk of the
shipment is still in the box, and I would greatly appreciate it if
someone could tell me how to save it while there is still time. I am
highly impressed with the versatility of sphagnum, plus I like its looks.

TIA
