Use some Promix BX. Its Sphagnum moss, perlite, vermiculite, mycorrhizae , Calcitic Lime, and Dolomitic lime. Great stuff. After it stabilizes the PH in 6.2. Peat moss alone is very acidic.
Don’t like acidic soil though ?
Ps thank you for this mix :p

Wait, so instead of using tried tested and true methods you'd rather do something that noone else does and expect this to be a good idea?
Listen buddy … I’m new to growing I said. There’s many ways you can grow according to google. So that’s why I am asking opinions on here where people have knowledge ! So no, I did not expect this to be a good idea. Thanks for your input though :) ! I’m here for everyone’s knowledge

Another thing everyone ? When I transplant it to a 3 inch pot (in dirt) should it be root bound before transplanting ? Or when the steam is over 5 inches ? Thank you everyone ! You guys have been a big help ❤

The moss should be ok to grow in but is more suited to other species.

I thought it had a neutral pH, once composted or dug as the below surface peat the pH is lower.

I would use a pre prepared shop soil once it needs a repot.

what are signs that it needs to be repotted?

A 3 inch pot is a good size starter pot. I would recommend using loamy soil that contains a low amount of nutrients and has been pH buffered at 7. You should always transplant before it becomes root bound. You'll want a root ball before you transplant again from the 3 inch pot to something larger.
