Hello everyone,
I am thinking of growing drosera binata through leaf cutting in peat moss.
Getting a growing media is difficult in India and I came across peat moss on amazon and bought one. I would like to request your advice regarding growing carnivorous plants in peat moss. Later I will be getting B52 VFT as well and due to limited quantity of sphagnum moss I would like to grow that as well in peat moss.

I will be grateful to you if you all can help me with all the dos n donts, attaching link below as I am not good in posting pics on forum.

Get the substrate wet/moist. Sprinkle the seeds on top. Don't bury it.
