Subject: Transplanting utricularia seedlings?

Hi,

Late last year I sowed some terrestrial Utricularia on pure peat moss.
Three species has germinated so far (monanthos, lateriflora and
bisquamata), but does not seem to do much at this time.

Now I wonder if it's possible to successfully transplant 2-3 mm
seedlings without killing them? Do seedlings grow underground stolons or
do they only consist of the over ground/photosynthetic stolons in the
juvenile stage? The reason I'm asking is that I don't want to tear the
seedlings to pieces in an attempt to transplant them.

Does anyone have an opinion of which is the best soil for terrestrial
utrics; pure peat moss or peat moss/sand mix?

Regards,
