Hi & Welcome to FTC Forum

tony,nice to hear of probs as being new to this. i have back traps but being in england we have alot of rain and it has grown so much with rainwater which i collect in pots it may have gone stale but vft loves it.

Hiya
Well it's been a week since i repotted my vft and i think it's doin ok!! It has new bright green little baby shoots that are coming up so now i'm starting to give it more full sun, but only in the morning and evenings, not when its burning hot in the middle of the day.
BUT... i did see a tiny bit more mold growing! So i snipped off the black parts that had mold. I considered getting a fungicide but wasnt sure which one to use. Also i thought maybe it got mold since it wasnt really in the sun much in the last week since i repotted it. Now it'll be more in the sun do u think the mold will clear up since it wont be as shady and dampish?

That's great news that your plant is putting out new shoots. Yes, keeping it in the sun and open air will definitely help with the fungus problem, but it probably would be a good idea to get a fungicide to help it get rid of the fungus. Any kind of sulfur based fungicide should work, but maybe someone here on the forum who's from Australia could give you a brand name.
