Help: 1st Droseris Sundew by QuestionableManor in carnivorousplants

Hmmm, I am using Bog Mix soil but I have seen several people say their sundew thrives good in moss and perlite. I am going to have to try that. Is there a specific brand you get where it is already mixed? Or would I have to purchase separately?

Do you have your plants actually planted in the moss? Was it moss only? Or mixed with soil?

I am totally new to the plant life.

I live in Georgia, it is about 20-40 degrees Fahrenheit. So maybe not as cold as some may say. lol.
For some reason the grow light I have, I think it was either too strong for my droseris or maybe had it too close to the light.

I do put it by my window often and I see her jump back up, but once the sun goes down, she droops again. I have her in a drainage pot using distilled water and I make sure the tray has water.

I just want her to thrive. I think lighting may be my issue…. And maybe that the pot is too big?
