Is the sphagnum on the bottom, or is the peat and perlite on the bottom?

Peat/perlite on the bottom

If I were you, I would put a bit of sphagnum on the bottom (it depends on how deep the pot is) and fill the rest with peat and perlite. I recommend all temperate carnivorous plants to be potted in a peat and perlite mix.
