I have 4 of these trays with sarracenia and a lot of tiny drosera. I need to change the soil. How do I move a million tiny drosera?😂 And any other advice?

They must be tiny; I can't even see any Drosera in there. The Sarracenia are easy as they can be barerooted this time of year. The Drosera are more problematic but smaller plants seem to transplant better than mature plants. Drosera really dislike having there roots disturbed so your best option may be to carefully pull out the Sarracenia then take little mats of Drosera, digging deep enough to get their roots without disturbing them too much, then placing the mats on the new soil.

Yes I suppose they are tiny hibernacula at this point. That's a great idea! Thank you!

I always re-potted my temperate CP's early spring right when they started to emerge from dormancy.
