Well, I've never seen a plant die because of it, but I figure that the mould
is blocking light going to the plant and that's the main reason I don't like
it. Strange, but this year it is not yet a problem, but maybe it's just a bit
early for the stuff still.

Sometimes when I finish playing with my plants I have to take a shower
because I have splotches of nectar in my hair, on my clothes, arms, a
real mess! I bet that since my plants are not exposed to rain, they
accumulate more goo than plants in the wild.
Also, knowing how much both horses and bears like sweets, I'm surprised
bears and deer don't munch Sarracenia to death!
I don't know why mould would stimulate nectar production. I'm pretty
sure it's the other way around.
