What do people use for Venus Flytraps, perlite or silica sand? Currently I'm using long-fiber sphagnum (or ground light-colored sphagnum moss) and perlite. I don't know if silica sand is better, and what size or how coarse? Right now I'm not going to transplant because I haven't had them for long (2 months). I don't know if it would be alright to transplant them now or to let them continue to acclimate themselves, although it would save a lot of space, the new ones that arrive I'll put in those pots. (I'm not sure if I got the last two phrases correct, because I'm not sure I understand the Spanish).

I personally prefer silica sand instead of perlite. When I use both, I usually use more sand than perlite. I feel that the sand breaks the medium up better and gives it a nicer consistency for the plants' roots to grow into. It must be almost pure silica sand however, not beach sand nor river sand.
If it were me and the plants were healthy, I might transplant them if I thought they needed it (into a larger container or in better medium) despite having them only for two months.
OK-- now I'm going to try to say the same thing in Spanish. Please correct my Spanish, Ignacio.
A mí prefiero la arena de sílice en lugar de perlita. Cuando utilizo los dos usualmente meto en la mezcla mas arena que perlita. Creo que la arena hace que el medio sea más desmenuzado y eso ayuda que se desarrollan las raíces. Pero necesita ser arena de sílice puro, no la arena de la play ni del río.
Si fuera yo y las plantas estén saludables, quizás las trasplantaría si creo que lo necesitan (a un contenedor más grande o a medio mejor) a pesar de que lleven sólo dos meses conmigo.
