White Mold on Venus Flytrap Seedlings: Sulfur Fungicide Fix

Shawn's 2-month-old VFT seedlings (south window, Southern California) developed white fuzz on sphagnum after rainy, sunless week.

Treatment

• Spray with sulfur-based fungicide (Safer Brand common).
• May need 2–3 applications.
• Sulfur creates hostile environment for mold; safe on most CPs.
• Avoid spraying in very hot weather.

Ventilation (open greenhouse/lid) also reduces spore spread.

Bonus

SNW DVDs and e-book provide hands-on foundation for seedling care.
