Your moss looks really dry and the pot should be sitting in a tray of water. Remember, distilled water or rainwater only

Won’t that give the plant root rot

No, they are bog plants. They like siting in a bit of water. This is my recent rescue. Still getting him healthy but he looks way better than before

Root rot is way less common in VFT than crown rot. They choose to bring water up when the need it.
