I have a few questions about moss?

My other concern is that certain mosses are poisonous to CP's, especially when they break down. They contain too many nutrients and kill the plants. I could be wrong about your type, as I am no moss expert by far, but want to give you a heads up so you may look into it further and not see your nice collection dwindle

here is a link.

In my experience, the moss is more of a symptom than a cause..the moss shows up when there are nutrients in the soil or the soil starts to decay, not the other way around.

so do you think I should take the moss out from on top of the pots?

I would take it out because eventually it might get slimy and gross.... and its bad for seeds/seedlings.

Well..if you are the one that put the moss there in the first place, no, you can leave it.

The main worry is peat based soils that start growing a carpet of moss on their own....that usually means that the soil has too many nutrients or is starting to break down.
