Kind of a dumb question, but I received this plant by mail, is the mossy stuff just part of the travel packaging or does it remain???

    Looks like it may be coir, it’s a coconut fibre it serves the same purpose as peat moss but it’s more sustainable. It helps the soil retain water but doesn’t become soggy. You leave it on! :)

    I remove it and put my own on for certain kinds of plants like my carnivorous ones, but you can leave it if you want doesn’t really matter a ton.

    It’s sphagnum moss. A lot of companies put it on top to stop the soil from falling out of the pot in transit. I remove it and save it for propagating other cuttings
