I just ordered some spagnum moss to repot my venus flytrap. I know most others mix this with silica sand or peat moss. However I've already spent more time and money than I'd originally thought, and would be grateful if anyone could tell me whether I can just repot it using entirely this moss. Any help would be appreciated

Unforchinitly no. You need to add perlite, sand, or small natural gravel for drainage. Wish out it the peat would just pack down and hold to much water.

You can plant a Venus Flytrap in pure band in Sphagnum Moss. I have all my Flytraps in sphagnum moss, and several others have done the same. You may want to water a little less if your used to peat mixes though. Sphagnum tends to hold a lot of water.
