Question
Is a carpet of green moss on the surface of the ground in the pot detrimental to the health of carnivorous plants? If so, what can be done to stop it?

Answer
Hello Craig,

In general, moss growth is not problematic. It is simply going to happen in bog plant pots due to the amount of water they have moistening their soil. The moss basically will leach nutrients out of the soil, which is actually a good thing for carnivorous plants. The only down side is if you are growing small plants or trying to sprout seeds, the moss can choke out the slower growing plants that will not quite get a head start. In pots with larger plants, the moss is not a problem.
