Hi just had a question about a soil mix I had. I bought the California carnivores soil mix of 1 part perlite to 4 part sphagnum moss. A 20% perlite and 80% sphagnum moss mix. Was just wondering if this mix requires enough drainage for when it rains during the winter months. Should I bring my bog into the patio area or is this soil provide the bog enough drainage. i know people usually use a mix of 50% of each so I was just wondering if this California carnivores mixture is enough. Thank you
