First of all moss grows in humid climates and cannot live in hot dry weather without dying So you will find yourself needing to spray or water it all the time and not letting it dry out, This excessive amount of water used to keep the moss alive could rot the root system of your tree! Second If you have moss ontop of your bonsais soil it wont only rob it of h20 but also youll have to be poking around it to see if your soil really needs watering in the proccess destroying the moss. Third Moss sometimes can attract insects because of its characteristics that ressemble that of grass.
