they do seem to be self-watering. just make sure the moss isn't saturated all the time or gets too dry. sometimes too much water can lead to root rot though

Yeah I always do check on the moss and make sure they are wet but not soggy. One question

should I always mist my vft using bottle spray like few times a day to get the humidity?

Misting is not necessary and will increase the chances of crown rot due to keeping the crown wet. Just keep the soil damp and humidity isn't an issue. Venus flytraps do grow better in higher humidity levels, but they can do just fine in very low humidity levels like where we live in southern Oregon.

Thanks Matt ! I learned something again today. Growing VFT indeed needs a lot of care and experience from day to day. I hope they’ll grow healthily as time goes by
