 Carnivorous plants!!!!
I can’t wait!!!!!!! I’m going to make a terrarium just for carnivorous plants!(I already have a fly trap) But I do have one question-can the kind of moss that you would find growing outside or in your yard, be grown in sphagnum moss?

it depends on what type of moss you are talking of! Different mosses can be grown in different conditions! For the most part-id say no! I would put a nice layer of good potting soil down then cover any bare areas with the sphagnum moss- The soil will not only look very attractive with the nice rich black color but it willalso help keep up the humidity that the carniverous plants like!!! ...u should get a couple of frogs to put in there as well or small lizards like anoles!?!?!?

I can’t do potting soil because it will actually hurt the carnivorous plants. I found a substrate that will be good for these special plants and should be fine for living moss. And as much as I’d like to have a frog or something in there, I can’t.(I’m not aloud to, and I wouldn’t even if I could, because one of the plants would probably eat it. And no, that is not a joke, I’ve seen it happen) Thanks for the help, I thought nobody would help me:)
