I'm putting together two small 2.5 gallon terrariums (classic style) where I'll be planting all Drosera (getting them bareroot from Cook's). The thing is, I've always ordered potted plants and kept them that way once I got them, never replanting. So I have some questions:
1) Is there a proper technique in doing this? I don't want to hurt my plants!
2) Is 1 part peat moss, one part perlite the best mix for the following Drosera:
-adelae
-capensis
-aliciae
-spatulata
3) Where can I find perlite and peat moss? I ordered some from Sarracenia Northwest, but they haven't shipped it yet due to that fact that they've been moving their nursery. This means I'm going to have to go find some at a store. So far I've checked Lowe's, and all they had was sphagnum moss. Where can I find the stuff I need?
4) As far as spacing the plants out in the two terrariums, should I keep them pretty far apart to allow for growth, or should I just plant them any way I want?
Thanks for all your help guys!
