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.

Cheers
