FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello everyone,

I was struck by a mould outbreak about a month ago and managed to get it under control. I thought I had eradicated the problem but have since had troubles with my terrestrial Utricularia (U. Sandersonii). I'd partially given up on the plant but I've noticed the live, young sphagnum moss that came with the plant is exploding with new growth -- I don't know if my Utric is alive anymore though.

Does anyone know of any treatments available in the UK that I could use -- or any advice in general on how to remove mould from these plants? I have severe athsma so it not only affects my plant's health and I would like to see if I can recover both the Utric and the Sphagnum.

Thank you.

You could just take the plant out of the pot and wash it really good then put it in fresh soil, hope it helps

I'd originally tried that, maybe I hadn't done enough of a good job. Thank you, I'll be sure to try that later on today.
