Yes but this is a News Group & different to most forums. No?

Wendy,

The key to algae is prevention. Once it's there, it's almost impossible
to eliminate, without repotting to a clean pot and fresh medium (only
the outer part, the rest will be very well held in place by the roots).

A treatment with Physan (1 tsp/gal) or chlorine bleach (1 oz/gal) every
4- to 6 weeks ought to do it, and covering is another alternative,
although that makes it hard to judge the watering needs.

My daughter brought this plant home from work & asked me to take care
of it.
Well I decided
to repot it & one pseudo broke away from the main plant.
So this was my 1st attempt at Ray's SemiHydro. Incidentally the
original plant has not bloomed yet.
Now I have to find out what to do about the algae?
Cheers Wendy
