The miss is it safe for it be covered on top of the plant like that

Your ask is a bit unclear, but I’m guessing you have a layer of sphagnum moss over the top of some kind of substrate and you want to know if that is okay?

Uh yea all my traps are closed just because I repotted them

They can be grown in sphagnum moss, so I don’t see why not. What kind of substrate are they in underneath the layer of sphagnum?

It’s Perlite Mix
