Hi, they look great!
Just so you know anytime a vft is grown from seed it is always a "typical" because its genes are different from the mother plant. Every named cultivar (from reputable sources) has the exact same genes (mostly, mutations can occur but are extremely rare)

Also what kind of moss is that? it looks like sheet or star moss, which can cause major headaches for repotting by tying up the roots into the media

hi there thanks for the info :)
the media I use is just old fashion Canadian peat from HOME DEPOT,
and I mix playground sand ,
I use more sand than peat for drainage purposes,
also I use plastic containers that are easy to cut open so as
not to hurt the plant by digging out .
