Hello community,
I've sped onto the forums in a blind panic. I've noticed one of my venus flytraps looking particually black. It has dying traps as any VFT does, but the black is "spreading" up from the rhizome rather than the traps dying first -- is this a sign of early dormancy? The plants are on my windowsill and it has been rather cold lately, I've tried to maintain a decent temperature but the breeze that comes through my window is shockingly bitter. I've tried to get some photographs, and I hope they're all right.
Also, my supersphag is turning green. I've had this before and put it down to algae so I replaced the green stuff and reduced the amount of water I was giving it. Now it's back with a vengeance. My mother thinks it may be new sphagnum growth, or my dehydrated stuff coming to life but I'm not sure. Any ideas?
If it is algae, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can eradicate it? Is it harming my plants?
Thank you.
