Hi all,

I am planning on growing a venus fly trap. I've been doing some research,
and I understand I need to use canadian sphagnum peat moss for soil.

I also understand it needs to be constantly damp. I am wondering if I can
use soil moist granules to this end?
(http://www.soilmoist.com/soilhome.html) Would these be harmful to the fly
trap?

Also, I have read that silica sand should be about 25% of the soil.
Unfortunately I have been unable to find any around here. Is this an
absolute requirement, or can it be 100% peat moss? Or is there a substitute
that can be used?

Thanks for any info!
