What type of soil should they be in

Question
I bought 2 types of sundew cape and spoonleaf sundews from Hirt's graden and they have potting soil in the middle but have the right type of soil around the outside. thank sorry cann't send pictures.

Answer
Hi Lewis,

Transplant them to a mix of 1/2 peat moss to 1/2 perlite. Never use any type of regular potting soil; the fertilizer in it would kill them. It's also best to use peat moss from bales rather than small bags. The small sacks often contain fertilizer. You can also order premixed soil directly off of our website.

Good Growing!
