Moss overtaken my Utrick

[Plant Heathen]

I have some U. Fulva that moss is trying to take ove. I thought I pulled it all out when I get it but it keeps coming back. I've pulled it out for or five time now. Is there a way to kill it without harming my plant?

 

[Plant Heathen]

anyone?

One thing to do is to move a section to a clean batch of soil. This batch you'll want to microwave to kill the moss spores laying dormant. It won't stop moss spores from other pots coming in though.

You could try taking a chunk of the plant that you are sure doesn't have moss and starting a new division. What I like to do is flood the plant since moss usually can't take it while the plant will be just fine. It's not a permanent solution, though.

thanks. I guess flooding flood is my only choice.

U. fulva likes to grow in shallow water (a couple cm.) The moss won't grow in that environment.
