Are you about to use peat pelts to plant VFTs?

Your wording is confusing, but if you're asking if you can use peat pellets to germinate VFT seeds, yes you can. They work fine. Peat pellets contain nothing but peat.

As for using them for growing medium/adult VFT's, it would probably be OK, but a mix of peat/sand or peat/perlite would be safer due to soggy soil causing root rot.

I wouldnt suggest using Peat Pellets myself for seeds since you have to keep VFS seeds in a constant humid environment with lots of sun it will start to grow green moss perhaps smuthering the seeds. I'm just telling you what I experienced.

Take Care.
