My go-to carnivorous plant soil is a 3:1:1 mix of peat moss, perlite, and coarse sand. Over the weekend, I was putting away a couple bags of LFS and rediscovered a bag of sphagnum dregs that I had saved: the little bits of moss that are left in the bottom of a bag (I guess it would officially be called "milled sphagnum"). I needed to pot 2 Sarracenia and 4 flytraps, so I turned them into a minor experiment. I put them in a mix of 3 parts of my soil to 1 part of the dregs. The resulting soil was very light and had an almost spongy feel when I put it in the pots. It should have good aeration qualities. I'm curious to see how well the plants grow in this.
