I had no idea moss had no roots
Well, yes & no. The worst moss for bonsai is club moss, recognized by
by litle red club-like pellets rising from its needle-like base. This
moss has roots and spreads rapidly across the surface by tiny rhizomes.
If you see it growing in any of your pots, get rid of it.
In fact, unless you want moss as a decorative feature for show purposes,
get rid of all kinds growing in your pots, except for saikei and forest
plantings.

Weeeelllll, but "club moss" isn't a "moss." The old common
name syndrome strikes again.
