Hello all,
I've been away for awhile, (this seems like my usual introduction), but I have a question!
I have been having a lot of algae growth in my bromeliad axils for the past few months. It seems to be common "green algae" that I have read about from other froggers. However, just removing it with paper towels and rinsing out the broms hasn't seemed to really slow it down. I am curious what I might do to combat this surplus of soylent green in my vivs
All of my plants are seemingly healthy, I've got lots of bromeliad pups and I've got new growth on almost everything I keep, begonias, ficus, peperomia, marcgravia, philodendrons, ferns, among others. And, all of the brood are happy and healthy as well. So, I don't think my conditions are too humid or too dry. Regardless, I am baffled as to what is causing the algae booms.
Is it an airflow issue? Perhaps humidity? Or, is this just something that happens?
Any way you slice it; is there an effective way to eliminate or mitigate the excessive algae growth? Please send help.
As always, Thank you in advance,
-Louie.
