Where do you guys get the peat moss, perlite, sphagnum moss, or sand that you use for your plants? I don’t want to end up buying the wrong stuff on accident.
I buy my peat, pumice, and perlite from OSH (Black Gold) and my silica sand from a pool supply store. Most potting media is safe, just watch for too much minerals or fertilizer and I guess you should be well off.
Would the sand that you buy for reptiles work? I have some left over from when I set up my scorpion’s cages. I’m going to be starting some Drosera and Sarracenia seeds soon, and yes, I’m fully aware of how long Sarrs can take to grow.
A leuco by any other name would still be as glutto

Depends on what variety of sand that is. Check the container for the words silica or quartz. If you see these as the main/only ingredient you should be fine.
