I used to have one of these plants! I repotted it soon after I bought it but it didn't last very long. I don't remember what medium I used... I may have used a mix of moss and coco coir but I'm pretty sure I didn't use perlite. Clearly this isn't your first rodeo! I thought the plant would be good for my home since we seem to have a naturalized population of fungus gnats living and breeding in the normal soil of the rest of the plants.
I got started in carnivorous plants due to a fungus gnat infestation in a basement apartment I rented years ago. They will nest in moss as well as regular dirt. The plants cleared up the gnat problem for the most part. Those things are super nasty and so annoying. Try the Droseras, they all do really well with bugs and those are the easiest to grow and propagate. Thanks for your comment.
There are a couple adult Drosera Red plants in the background behind the one I repotted - Final Photo.
