Hi All,
I recently bought a new peat which should be better that me previous one. Previous peat is quite quickly covered with green algae and moss. It was very annoying.
I planted seeds of several species, they grew up ok and continue growing but very very slowly. At the same time I bought Drosera capensis var. alba and typical form, Drosera rotundifolia. It's been 1 month already and they look sick...
Drosera rotundifolia after several days since planting.
The same plants since 1 month from planting.
Drosera capensis are without any change... They grow very slowly and their leaves constantly turn black.
I use soil: peat:sand 1:1. Water and lighting are ok.
Regarding my seedlings... They doesn't die but grow very slowly:
3 month since sowing:
Note that there are no any algae or moss. It tells us that the peat should not have nutrients.
Also I would like to show my friend's drosera aliciae that are in the same peat and sand. Also has sick red color and black growing point:
Have somebody faced with such issues?
