White mold on soil
Two or three of my indoor plants now have a white mold on top of the soil. Is there a homemade recipe I can try to get rid of it? Thanks so much.

Re: White mold on soil
Hi Brow,
From this site:
http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/pla...4w.htm#trouble
"A white or light yellow mold-like growth may indicate the presence of a saprophytic soil fungus, a fungus that lives on dead or decaying matter. The fungus will not harm the plant but may indicate unsterile potting medium or an overwatered plant."

Re: White mold on soil
You can remove the soil and repot or just watch how much you water. Mold needs moisture to grow and not all molds are harmful to plants. You should find this helpful.
