Hi all
After a couple weeks of rain I seem to be getting algae growing on my soil and trunks.
Can this be harmful and how can I get rid of it.
I know that drying out will help but we keep getting rain!!

Re: Algae
If no one else's pipes in: the algae should go away once you start using chlorinated water again.

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

Re: Algae
Soil looks damp, is it drying out at all. I think constant wet soil is more of an issue then moss/algae.
How's the tree looking? Healthy otherwise? I've been told if the moss or growth in the soil looks greener then your tree than you could be in trouble.
