Question
I am wondering if I really need to use the fungicide mentioned in your videos for repotting my Drosera Adalae. I am in Oregon near Canyonville. Is teh fungicide really necessary for repotting? If it is, could you tell me the name of a common brand you use that I could get easily in small amounts? Thank you very much for all your help!
While you can use fugnicides as a precaution, it's not at all necessary to use it at the time of repotting. In fact, we don't use it unless we actually see an active infection. When we use it, we will also spray the surrounding plants as a precaution, but we don't use it as part of the repotting procedure. So it's not necessary to use it in your particular situation.
Good growing!
