Has anyone ever used and had success with different types of living moss as carnivorous plant media. Even if the moss is just a top dressing. I am not talking about the club moss that invades all of your pots, and will usually come in on any pots from California Carnivores(not to knock them, because they sell good plants.)

The only moss that works successfully as a media is Sphagnum.
