Hello all,
I was just going to germinate some drosera seeds,but I don't know wether or not to use sphagnum or peat.I saw a lot of people recommending peat,but if I use that I will have to go through the trouble of rinsing it.With sphagnum,there is not a very big risk of algae if I don't rinse sphagnum.
So,I want your true and honest opinion:Which soil is best for sowing drosera seeds?
Thanks and good night

With long fiber sphagnum moss in high demand, I started using peat / perlite / sand for my seed germination. So far, so good.

Yeah,I just got ahold of some 5 dollar blocks of sphagnum at lowes ,which is why I wanted to use it.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but in the end, either works well.

The Better Gro moss from Lowes is what I use and I have good success with it. I chop it up fairly fine for the top layer when starting seeds. That way the seeds don't fall down into the gaps.
