Black spot
 
Hi guys and girls ladies and gentlemens...

Just asking since i lost 1 of my VFT too this black spot fungus thingy...and i don't wanna loose another...My akai ryu only has 5 traps which is quite little and after a while leaves die off quite fast..So how do i heal them..Sorry i don't pay much attention to those chemical stuff you guys talk about..

Black spot normally comes from a overly humid and damp enviroment. Try keeping your flytrap in a sunnier place with more air movement.

Hi alcran

Umm thanks i do keep it in a very sunny position and sir circulation should be enough....Will that do the job or do i have to use any chemical stuff

(Off topic)
Does anyone grow small palm trees?? If your palm tree starts having they're leaves somehow curling whats happening..At first i though it was too dry so i flushed it and next day now still the same..Is it getting some parasite attack?

Hi Marvin

Well i know that after awhile the old leaves die off.....But if it dies of rapidly and spreads fast then its the black fungus thingy.....

Black spot happens of the usual over humid envirnment or poor air circulation. Try frying your VFT for a day and then see what happens. As in put it in really hot sun.

Hi edward

I always fry it in sunlight but i always keep it wet thats probally the cause of it....Now i keep it slighlty on a drier side and let the water tray to dry out for some time before adding it again..
