Different plants like different medias. Some grow better in LFSM, some better in peat mixes.

In my conditions Sarrs and drosera do better in peat mixes. I can't really comment on the VFT's because I've only grown them in LFSM. I'll probably put one in peat just to see the difference this summer though.
