I have this problem (quite severely) on my D. binata "Giant" sphagnum. This
is in sphagnum and regularly dries out (oops!) - the slime is still going
strong...
>This may also be a sign of a high salt content (minerals, not just
>NaCl) in the soil. If so, you should throughly flush your soil out.
My plant's in a hanging basket with a tray - so it is always flushed out
whenever I water. I do you tap water though, so it's quite possible that
enough nutrients are retained in the sphagnum to feed the slime...
