Hey everyone
I've been taking good care of my two CPs (one VFT which has grown 8 new traps in the past 2 weeks (!!!!) and 1 Sarracenia)
However, in the past couple days, I've noticed that the surface of the soil for my VFT's (notable clustered around the perlite in the soil) have begun to grow green!
When I pour water on them, the green portions of the perlite wash off, making me believe they're some kind of fungus or algae??
Anyone have any ideas as to what it is, what I can do to get rid of it, and if it will affect my VFT at all?
If it helps, the VFT is on my windowsill (faces south), gets 6+ hours of good sunlight on a typical day, and I keep the soil moist.
