It seems that many of them are developing this green slime on the top of the soil. I am not sure what is causing this. Thank You Ikan

It's usually indicative of overwatering. You can find some info on bonsaiTALK Links if you search under "hornwort". Remove the upper crust of soil and replace it with fresh soil. You should also consider reducing the frequency of watering to allow the soil to dry somewhat more between waterings. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?
