Hello, earlier today I put together a mini-bog with my small CP collection (2 VFT's, 2 S. rubra's, & 1 purple pitcher plant gotten just yesterday from lowe's). I used the standard 1:1 ratio of peat to sand. When I got the sand yesterday, I surprisingly couldn't find playground sand at either Lowe's or Home Depot. So I purchased all-purpose sand. I searched through the forums when I got home yesterday and found that the consensus is that this sand is usually okay if it is rinsed beforehand for good measure. Now, when I mixed the media this morning I was in a rush which made me completely forget to rinse the sand. I didn't realize this until well after I was done.
What should I do? I have no extra media leftover and won't be able to get more for a day or two. Should I buy new peat and sand and transplant them ASAP, or is this situation not so bad and I can afford to watch over them for a while and only make a new mini-bog if the plants are obviously dying?
