Question about my seeds


Question
I did what another expert told me to just leave the seeds alone and keep adding water,
Today I decided to see if these grew since they grow fast and I noticed there was white appearing on the Algae, nothing on the seedlings yet,but this morning the tray was completely dry!
Does Algae sometimes be white?
like I said its on the green growth but the seedlings have nothing on them yet.
I do not know if these seedlings grew to the point where nothing will bother them too much or if they are going to get covered and die!
A friend of mine has D Nidiformis seeds in the mail for me,with any luck my natalensis and nidiformis seeds will give me 2 heatlthy plants.

Answer
Hello Dennis,

Yes, some algae is colored white, but unfortunately, so are several species of fungus. If your seedlings have done well, you can try a partial transplant to clean soil by digging the seedlings out with a small plug of soil and simply moving it to another pot without disturbing their roots. Just use a small metal or plastic intrument to dig around the seedlings a good half inch in a square or circle around them and a good inch or two to ensure their roots are included, then indent a hole in a fresh pot of soil and place the seedlings in that. Hopefully the algae and fungus will be left behind.
