Hello, I'm Michael, I'm from Pensacola Florida. I have a Drosera Adelae that propagated last year, and it starting to grow black fuzzy roots. I'll attach some pictures to the forum. I'm not 100 percent sure if this is normal or this is root rot. I would really appreciate if someone could help identify if this is healthy roots or root rot.

The white tip on the root tells me that it is not rot. I don't grow adelae but that looks very similar to what a flytrap root does. It is brown down to the very tip, which is white. If it was rot, the brown would be slimy and crumble when touched. Interesting that it is growing on top of the moss.

No idea about the roots, but i remember reading up on "Adelae" before i got mine and someone wrote roots exposed to light will try to grow new plants and not to grow in a clear container.

Thank you Panman. I was worried about my Drosera Adelae.
And Thanks optique for letting me about that. I was not aware about that. Im still learning about CPs. I need to find a different container.
