Does anything look wrong just from a quick glance? I tried my best to follow the flytrapcare guide!

Looks good to me.Note that it will be in shock for the next 1-2 weeks,and growth will be stunted and you probably shouldn't feed it for that amount of time.

That's all we all can do, do our best research then put it to practise, you'll be rewarded!

I find that sphagnum moss like that often "heaves" up in the center after many cycles of watering etc.

I now pull the moss away from the plant a bit when repacking in new medium, to avoid the r growth point getting buried.
