Goose Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hi, I have been trying to grow VFT's from seed, but until yesterday all I thought I was growing was surface white fuzzy mould. I have one stem that has broke the suface! I still have the mould issue though, is it dangerous to my tiny VFT? and how can I get rid of it without killing my plant? The mould isn't thick but it has been developing. I keep my VFT's in my bedroom under a 25w light and in about 1cm of rain water. Thanks, Phil.

Guest Sheila Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 The mould can smother tiny seedlings. I would use a toothpick or cocktail stick and gently lift the mould from the surface of the peat around the seedling. You should be able to clear an area giving the plant a better chance of growing. It will come back in a few days but you can keep clearing it until the plant can cope. Once the summer sets in properly it should disappear altogether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hi Goose, I have the same problem, I usually turn over the peat around the seedlings with a teaspoon, the mould comes back eventually but it takes a while. Trev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
