Did you put the plant in contact with the wet moss? (It looks like it, but it's hard to tell from that photo.) The idea is for the moss to hold moisture to saturate the air, not as a moist medium for the plant to grow roots into. There should be no contact.

The answer to your question is "no", I'm afraid.

Moss isn't even necessary, a wadded-up, saturated paper towel stashed away in one corner - away from the plant - is sufficient.
