Hi,

Any tips on what this may be on my VFT? It's been getting those dark spots on the petiole
Got them about 3 - 4 weeks ago. The other 3 seem to be doing well and growing slowly as I assume VFT's do anyway.
They're in peat moss and perlite 1:1 with a little bit of propagating sand. Soil ph slightly acidic at around 6.5
TDS 5 - 8
About 4 hours of full sunlight
Soil is just moist and not wet

I thought maybe some sort of trauma or maybe sunburn? but the others have been put through then same conditions and doing well.
More so, I was wondering if it could still make it?

On a completely different note regarding the moss photo. Anybody know the type of moss? Grows in the back of my house
I live in Brisbane, Australia.

Thanks in advance,

Luciano

Even though they're the same species, that doesn't mean they'll all react the same. It's likely just shock due to recent shipping and changes in conditions, just give it time.
As to the moss, it's a type of star moss that will probably take over and smother the VFT's if you let it. Get rid of it.
