Something is growing
 
Hi everyone

As usual no pics............

Okays getting into the point....My N Rajah is grown is LFS and perlite but for the inner layer its cocochips...So as for the topping its LFS......Recently the middle part of the LFS which is from Fauzi seems to be turning slightly light green and isn't so much that it looks like algae...Its just small parts and it doesn't expand much.So when i checked today there are tiny leaf like things coming out from the moss there are like 5-10 of those tiny 1 cm tall leaves....I pulled some out and it doesn't seem to have roots or maybe i just pulled the leaf off i don't know but its just something that hasn't grown on any of my other nep or CP pots .....

I's a UGO. Unidentified Green Object :laugh:. There are a few possible guesses in my head. Could be germinating seedlings from some plant, or the moss is growing, or plainly put, fern sporelings.:unsure:

Hi Funky

Well its whitish green at the visible lower parts which is around 1mm wide and gets wider to 3-4 mm from the middle to top which is greener and it stands erected..Doesn't look like moss to me...I wish it was moss though :D

the sphagnum moss is reviving, you'll have a bunch of life sphagnum moss in no time!

Hi Athene

No no....I don't think its the sphag reviving........I think the light green colouration on some tiny parts of the LFS could be a slight algae since i don't keep them that wet thats why algae doesn't really grow...But the green leaves coming out are not the flower or spores which some other people said in other forums...Spores normally have a stem and a tiny bud at the top while this is just leaves growing out of a pot...Urtic?? :p

ken, use the camera flash-take an overall pic of the pot's media, then another closer 3-4 leaves, doesn't matter if it's tiny as long as it shows:1thumbup:

Hi everyone

Well i don't think the pictures will clear up anything at all but just for the sake of it here it is

See the green thing in the very blur pic which looks like a number 1 shaped leaf?

Number one........your rajah is growing faster than mine. Mine is soooooo slow!!!

Lets get back to the topic. Well, I don't know what it could be or how it ended there, but for me, all my LFS is becoming a little greener. Something like yours. Maybe it could be reviving like what Athene said, maybe it could be moss, but one thing I know for sure, it won't be damaging.

Unless it spreads out and covers the whole pot..............muahahahahahaha.....:tongue:

Cheers

It looks kind of like the grass that I get in my pots when I grow them outside for the summer. Pull it out, the grass becomes very annoying.

Grass?When I bought my Sarra I also saw grass around my Sarra,so I pull it out AND threw it into the pitcher.Think it'll help?
