Okay, so I was 3D printing interconnectable plant pots, and I accidentally printed 2 pots for Pinguicula instead of 1 for Pinguicula and 1 for Pygmy Drosera. I want to try germinating to seeds on two different types of media, pure peat, and a mix I bought online containing peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and sand. What do you guys think? Should I do it?

I'm not expert on what would work better but I'd say experimentation is an awesome idea. Then you know what works next time someone asks!

excellent with these two substrate

I started out with the peat/perlite/pumice/sand mix, and it worked quite well for ping seedlings as well. Now I’ve moved to a more open mix that seems to work better for me over time (3:2:1 Turface-Quartz Sand-Peat). But for seedlings I do like a little more peat and my go-to medium is a peat and pumice cactus and succulent medium that also has some added lime. (Actually I’ve also taken to using that instead of the pure peat in my general growing mix)
