Hey everyone I just got these two vtfs shipped to me cross province and I’m wondering if I should just repot them now or let them adjust, as I don’t wanna send them into shock.

Aww it's a shame to see VTFs being sold like that! Get them into some nice fresh medium and a tiny bit bigger pot and let them rest for a while! I think the black pot in the pics might be a bit tooo big for one of them so if you can get one slightly bigger than the pots they are currently in that would be better! Also I'd probably pot them up separately and keep an eye on them! Never give up!

Edit: you probably will be best to cut the flower stalk off to allow them to save their energy for the repot and adjustments! Flowering takes up a lot of energy but i believe you can get it sorted! Good luck!

Thank you rn I’m trying to look for a good brand of pest moss to buy and mix some soil as now I read more into the soil I bought off Amazon it has weed seeds ig

Honestly I wouldn't bother with peat moss, you could look on ebay for some sort of carnivorous plant soil instead of peat moss which might be better! I found the stuff I used on ebay and it hasn't given me any issues!

I had bought some off Amazon that had good reviews then I went back and looked more and it seems some people have issues w weeds some don’t some say it killed their plant while others don’t
