Is it safe to plant venus fly trap seeds in Peat Moss and VERMICULITE?

A few weeks ago I planted some little venus fly trap seeds in one cup of peat moss, mixed with one cup of vermiculite. And every other day I give them a spray of distilled water. They're in indirect sunlight in a window that usually stays open. But I've seen no progress, they're not growing.Did I kill them by using the vermiculite?

Answer:

Vermiculite will hold more water but tends to bunch together and eventually break up. Perlite will keep it's shape longer, retains moisture and helps aerate the soil.
