Many North American carnivorous species grow in bogs blanketed with
sphagnum moss. The moss is often so thick, you cannot see the soil that
the plants are growing in. Indeed, sometimes, the shallow roots of some
carnies are in nothing but sphagnum moss. So, I wouldn't worry...the
mosses are a natural part of the ecosystem where these plants grow and
should certainly not be detrimental to them in cultivation.
