    Got some bad news for you as like any other molds around your house this mold also releases spores which are not very good for your lungs. Just get rid of it by spraying/watering a solution made with equal parts of water and Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This will also help your plant to absorb nutrients more easily.

    Thank you so much! My wife and I were panicking because of the white mold, she recently put her plant to a bigger pot and changed the soil, she got the soil from the garden. After the white mold happened, we were researching if we needed to use some kind of fungicide. Then we saw your video and we are relieved. She did overwater the plant and that seems to be the problem. We will let it dry a bit. Thank you again for the awesome tip

      You should never use soil from your garden you should always use the potting soil most of it is sterile butt. Always if you do want to try to incorporate soil from your garden you need to put it in the oven and bake it to kill any insects or things that would harm your plants. It's a different environment outside that's why garden soil is good. Period. That is for plants growing outside in the ground that potted plants need different care

    I've seen the mold before. It's easily gotten rid of with a little cinnamon. White residue on the soil could also be calcium buildup from using an unfiltered tap water.

    • @cherylk3479
      @cherylk3479 Před 5 lety +18

      Agreed crusty white or tan buildup on top of soil is likely calcium or salt/mineral buildup from the tap water being used to water with. You should scrape it off to remove the problem - it's not good for your plants.

    Thanks for the great video! I have a small container garden (vegetables) in my backyard, southern exposure, *lots* of direct sunlight, warm days and cool nights. We have been having a great deal of rainfall with chance of hail over the past few days with overnight temperatures just above freezing, so I moved my garden into the garage for safekeeping. After 2 days and 3 nights, we finally have a beautiful sunny day and the garden has been moved back outside. I noticed some little fuzzy white tufts of fungus on the soil, and I had a bit of a panic that all my plants were in danger. Your video really made me feel better! I'm going to see if the warm sun drying out the soil is enough to put the fungus to rest; if not, I'll brush off the soil and maybe sprinkle a bit of cinnamon if we get more heavy rainfall warnings over the next few weeks.

    Fungus & plants (Inc trees) often work together to provide each other nutrients that they can't get independently. The fungus can also connect trees so that trees share nutrients between themselves or support the younger trees. I think I first came across that in "what plants think" documentary on yt. But you can Google it too.
    Only issue is, some molds do produce toxins that aren't the best to breathe in, so be sensible.

    Thank you for the video! I was a bit worried, I have some tropical seeds that I've probably been keeping a bit too moist out of worry that they might dry out and die, and the soil has started getting the white fuzzies even after treating with some fungicide. Good to know it's fine even if I can't get it to go away.

    Thanks for this! I was also freaking out about my gorgeous Moonflower plant. It was doing so well when this white mold sprung up on its soil! I was worried I really hope I didn’t hurt it when I scooped out about 2 inches of soil and replaced it with fresh mix. Then treated with a fungicide. I just know plants can be testy when messed with. She’s a gorgeous plant!

      The good news is removing the 2 inches of the soil and replacing with fresh soil and treating with a fungicide should not harm your Moonflower plant at all, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Monday today XXXX

    Thanks for the info! I appreciate a lot the info, because I saw this on my azaleas after sprinkling some coffee on the soil and panicked, and yes, the videos I saw talking about this is about "how to prepare an organic fungicide".
    The bad news is that one of my azaleas started to wilt, and I thought it was the mould, repotted it and it ended up dieing, but I now realized that the roots were rotten, and now thanks to you I realize that precisely, the apparition of the mould was kind of a red flag of the overwatering.
    In fact the other azalea still has the mould but as it looks OK i didn't do anything different but remove the upper layer and sprayed a little cinnamon tea as I saw in another video :p thanks again!!
