I got a plain jane ventricosa, as well as a hybrid from natch, the other o e was from ebay.

Now, considering I don't have living lfsm, at the moment, I went into my creek and found two different mosses, and put the on top in an attempt to keep water in more securely. I want to be able to have the grow outdoors with minimal interference from I.

I just don't like to come home and feel the top completely dry.

What I did was pick the moss off the ground, and clean off the soil a d whatever else it was on, and gently sat it on top, hope this works

Some mosses are toxic to carnivorous plants and they tend to compact the soil, making it hard for air to get to the roots.
