agreed.

the plants i got from linton had some live sphagnum moss. it is identical to that.

i put my bits of LSM away from the traps, and i dribble a little tiny bit of water on it daily.
man does it swell up when you give it water. and the stuff will grow little fine green grassy like shoots around it, which will also eventually swell right out as it grows.

and it grows at a fairly reasonable rate. and a clump of very fine roots will grab hold of the first, oh... 1" ? of soil.

i'd suggest moving it away from the base of your plants tho.

that is a very nice cephalotus, mine is coming out of dormancy and making new pitchers... YEY!

You have there a moss, dough if its sphagnum moss ,there are many mosses around that pop up in your pots , I do not know the name if it but I have a heap of it grows every where you have peat and moisture mainly but have it going on some wood too where water is dripping from a soak try .
Here is a few pic's of it growing in my green house

it looks like live sphagnum i had a pot filled with it once I always keep some growing and would take some and dry it out so I always have some ready to go
