Hey everyone, this morning I was watering my flytraps and on one of them I noticed these black spots on one of the leaves. At first I thought that it was possibly just some sort of debris so I tried gently removing it but no luck. I do not usually see this sort of thing on my plants so I am a little concerned. I was looking through the message board trying to find some answers but still not quite sure what I am dealing with. Is it maybe some time of black mold or just debris? Some sort of insect?
I have been recently repotting and my plants are looking pretty good. I have cut back my watering some since the temperatures at night are now in high 50's low 60's but for the past couple days the high has been around 90F still here in Phoenix. I only found these "black dots" on one other plant but they still definitely look healthy although you can tell dormancy is starting. Am I possibly watering too much? I bottom water with a bowl but never let them constantly sit in water, maybe for 30 minutes or so. Plants are outside getting 7+ hours of direct sunlight
I hope its just dirt and I am being paranoid lol but I want to be sure just in case I need to take action. I will attach a picture. Any help is always appreciated thanks!
