FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I’m using spaghnum moss as soil and have slowly found (over the course of several months) my moss begin to turn green. I researched that this was likely algae growth and is generally harmless to the VFT but can be thwarted with a low dose spray of hydrogen peroxide. I decided not to spray the plant but now find that besides turning green there is now strange little green sprouts coming from the moss. I’m wondering what this is and what I should be doing to prevent it?

I haven’t been able to find posts with this strange sprouting problem.

The attached photo shows the plastic pot the plant is in. There are drainage holes in the bottom and it sits on a tray filled with water. Perhaps the issue is just that the tray is over watering?

That's just grass.
Pull it out because it develops extensive roots.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any action I can take that would be more preventative than just pulling the grass as it stems up?

Pull not just the leaves but the rhizome too

I get that popping up in all my LFS, likely just harboring seeds which germinate when re-wetted. I've resorted to pulling them up by hand/tweezer and trying to get all the roots as well. It takes a while...but definitely try to get them out before the roots get too extensive.

I got that in some flytraps from Lowe's. Yes, get rid of it because it does get big.
