Default 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 .....

Ken

I's a UGO. Unidentified Green Object . 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.

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

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??
