Utrics and moss

DragonsEye

carnivorous plants of the world -- unite!
For those of you growing terrestrial utrics, how do you keep moss (it's not sphag) from over running the pots? I'm worried about it crowding out/smothering the utrics but afraid physan might harm the utrics.
 
I repot mine out of caution if I think they might be getting choked out. I also keep mine in a very airy LFS mix, so its hard for other moss to take up all the real estate.
 
I don't. They don't seem to mind, in fact some of them seem to prefer growing alongside moss. I have weeded out moss with tweezers out of caution in the past - and I was surprised to see how well the Utricularia was growing under everything.
