I just became aware that many Drosera nidiformis plants carry an endosymbiotic fungus. I do believe mine has this as all the symptoms are present and it’s growing conditions should be perfect. I’m worried this will spread to my other Sundews I planted in the same terrarium. It has potentially gotten to my Drosera prolifera Their tentacles seem to dry up, fall down, then the leaf goes either brown (spatulata), black (nidiformis), or red/brown (prolifera). I have drosera capensis, spatulata, nidiformis, and prolifera - they all share the same soil. . Right now I have Capensis and Spatulata as well but am planing on expanding my collection. Will this spread? Do I restart with clean substrate, plants, et cetera? Will it spread to my Nepenthes I grow in the same room (each different pots though)? Is there a treatment?
