Subject: Algae on spaghnum

Hi,

 I have just noticed algae growing on the surface of some of
my pots with sarracenia seed just starting to germinate. The
medium is chopped dead spaghnum, and I was wondering if it would
be safe to spray with Mancozeb (a fungicide) at this early stage.
It states on the packet thatt it kills algae.

 I hope it doesn't do the same to just germinating sarras!

Thanks for any help,

Russell
