Hi,
I grow most of my plants S/H style in clear plastic pots. A few months after the plant is potted or repotted, there is a nice film of algae covering the inside of the pot. It doesn't appear to hurt the plant too much and most grow just fine with it in the pot.
I sometimes wonder though, what would the plant would grow like if the algae wasn't in the pot. I have noticed my plants seem to grow roots best after they are potted when there is no algae present. Do you think my roots grow better if I put a sleeve on the pot to block the light which would reduce or eliminate the algae?
Thanks for any input,
