So I went out to my local Walmart to save two VFTs that were in those plastic tubes. Had to cut off a the dead traps and such to make them nice and clear of all that.
Had them for about a month now and I have been wanting to repot them so bad but a bit afraid I'd hurt or kill them just by doing so.
Unfortunately for me, I couldn't find any non miracle grow peat moss anywhere but manage find another type soil at PetSmart. The product I found is called Reptisoil. The bag said it contains peat moss,sand,soil and carbon. Oddly, the carbon that seems to be in it are pieces or what looks like wood. Wanted to see how well this type of mediam would do so I planted jalapenos seeds from my dinner ingredients. Planted them and see of they hold.
A week or two later, I sprouted 9 of them,mostly all the seeds worked well with this soil. Of course, they are not VFTs but those plants need soil that is loamy. The soil drains out from the bottom like it should.
Of course, I would like to repot them without disturbing the soil that it is when I bought them from Walmart. The roots seem to be sticking out from the bottom but not bursting. Small roots,but showing me it needs the room soon.
Pretty much just to cut the plastic pot around it and place into a deep pot. I've seen peat moss cups,don't know how anyone feels about them. What I would to do is to use that soil I got but scared to do so. Will add pics if needed in replies.
