I found some rotundifolia in my red sphagnum from Ebay. They're tiny but have long root systems.
Should I pot them up in peat moss or should I let them grow in distilled water (like leaf cuttings)?
Is there a chance that they'll survive this process?

Pot those puppies up and bag them. I'm going to have to go over my batch with a fine toothed comb.

I'll be doing that today. 4 inch pots inside of some ziplock bags will do.
Took me an hour to find 10 of these little guys. I have to warn you, they are TINY. It's like finding needles in a hay stack...
Good luck with your drosera hunt!

One I found in mine (even if they labeled the sphagnum red, I think I got green). It’s not small.

You've got a lot of luck, that's a huge rotundifolia!
All of mine are the size of ants!

Yeah, but if your sphagnum is red, you’re luckier than I am
