Would it harm my Venus flytraps if I grew some type of moss in the
pots along with them ? I thought that it might help beautify my plants.
I've seen photo's with moss in the pots. Last year I tried growing
something called Kyoto moss that the plant to beautify Bonsai tree's
but couldn't get it to grow. Any idea's ... suggestions ?

Many people like using live Sphagnum Moss as a top covering. It looks very nice, but it grows slowly.

After a few years the moss will start to grow itself on the peat. It's safe for the plants, but it keeps more water in the soil, so do not overwater them. Watch out for mold forming on the moss during dormancy, too. Sphagnum moss looks nice but it's not the type of moss to grow in a VFT pot.
