Soil is a decaying matter, it’s absolutely normal to run across white mold especially when collecting plants, you may even find a mushroom in your pot one day😂 anyhow while mold is not harmful to your plants at all it’s just feeding off the decaying matter in your soil. I would ease up on watering and make sure that the roots are getting adequate air flow, and keep your plants in a a spot that has light to prevent getting mold. Dark,wet, and no air flow perfect for mold. If you see the mold I’d recommend just getting a skewer and stabbing your soil gently and mix are the soil. Or if your freaked out just repot😌
I second all of this and talk about all these great tips in this video - minus the stabbing of the soil. I’ll definitely give that a try! I normally aerate the soil before watering but it makes sense to do it after as well. And I’ve had some mushrooms on the soil, they’re kinda cute. Haha 🌿
@@shyjackson845 hey, I’m not super sure since I don’t have a aerogarden but when I looked it up it looks to be a common problem with them. They suggest you use a q-tip and wipe off any mold
Honestly, your comment probably just saved my plant. It looks healthy on top, I JUST reported into a larger pot but I think the plastic tub under it is preventing airflow. It lost a few leaves so I took it down to look at it and the whole top of the soul was covered in white mold. Thanks for the tips! ❤️🫶🏻🙏🏻🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks for this information my neighbor managed to make all my plants, moldy in only five weeks!! Not sure what he was doing, so frustrating! They were in beautiful condition when I left 😢😢😢
Many years ago a friend told me to bake the soil on a cookie sheet in the oven. It kills any unwanted stuff in it. Sadly it is a pain to rehydrate it. There are lots of tips out there, some people swear by neem oil spray. I've noticed that my plants generally struggle much more in winter, as I live in Idaho & winter is our longest season!😅 I generally only use pots with drainage holes & still get the white mold, especially being in a basement apartment with less sunlight in winter. Perhaps I'll get a grow light for them. My poor spider plants always start well but by mid winter they're nearly dead. Some suggest a diluted peroxide spray or sprinkling baking soda on the soil. I'm gonna try just poking some holes in the soil with a bamboo skewer or chop stick first. The cinnamon she's using is cassia cinnamon, its whats in most packages at the stores,however has a higher amount of arsenic in it than the "Ceylon" cinnamon that is all around better for everything. Its pronounced like "sail on" . Its usually easy to spot the differences between the two. Ceylon is a lighter color, usually closer to tan than reddish brown, and as for sticks it appears lighter and looks more like rolls of old parchment paper than the cassia sticks. Its usually more broken up looking because it isn't as thick and woody as cassia cinnamon sticks. Most packaging doesn't specify which type is in it. You can google images of ceylon vs. cassia and then you'll be able to have the actual pictures. I get mine at the grocery store, usually sticks packaged in the Hispanic section with other spices & its cheaper that way, too! But you can likely find it at health food stores,etc.! Good luck to everyone here trying to get rid of this nasty stuff!🙏💜
Yes!! Orchid lovers always have cinnamon, hydrogen peroxide 3% and isopropyl alcohol! I’m so happy my UA-cam search landed me on your channel! Thanks for sharing 😊 I’m pretty sure I received an orchid in poor media and now mold is a new battle that I’m going to learn to defeat 💪🏾
Haha you gotta have those - they’re necessities👏👏👏 oh man, orchids can be kinda tough. I’ve actually had success with growing in water. Just an option if the potting mix doesn’t work out 😊🌿
Great information about dealing with mold on plants. You mentioned gloves. Everyone should try to wear gloves at all times, especially if you have artificial nails. Years ago we worked on a patient who got a cut which became infection from her soil. The infection got into her blood stream it damaged one of her heart valves. We had to replace her heart valve. After that experience I wear gloves & a mask all the time when working with soil. I have a large plant family of 40+ plants. Again great information I have learned some helpful tips I didn't know that you!
You’re very beautiful and you did a nice video. I found mold on my plant, but I have the humidifier actually a vaporizer running high and I move the plant to the living room where it doesn’t get much sun or airflow so I have my magic love gonna dump the topsoil in the toilet then powder it was cinnamon.
I have had moldy soil, just a little. The plant was in a no drainage pit and it was a calathea so I keep them damp. It sat in a corner of the room without good circulation. I really did nothing with it. I know it’s not harmful to the plant, it was only spotty on the soil, and I turned the heat up in that corner and that seemed to help prevent further mold and dried the mold out.
Just repotted some plants. Found that none of my terra cotta had any mold growth, while all of my glazed pots had mold growth. The unglazed terra cotta absorbs excess water. This means you have to water more often but are less likely to get mold. IMO
Thank you! I had a major mold infestation in my house and had a very, very yearssss long lethal battle from it's toxicity - roof, attic, HVAC, etc...during the plandemic and I was told it was severe covaids...yes I had a rough case, BUT it was the mold that messed up the gut and from there...domino effect. I'm rebuilding myself and healing but you are right in that mold is BAAAAD, especially if you have an "allergy" which aka means you have the gene HLA-RD which means you don't have genetic pathways to detox it. Anyway, all the plants survived, but I didn't haha. I make a 'come back,' but I looooove and grew up in a home where we were all about house plants and love that my mom raised me to care and love plants! How about garlic which is also antifungal? Just stick with cinnamon? AWESOME, thank you!!
i randomly stumbled upon an ig reel where the girl mentioned she sprays a hydrogen peroxide solution on all her new plants to prevent and treat mold and it really works well! i added like 1 tablespoon of HP to a small 8oz spray bottle and spray once or twice a week, and the mold is gone in less than two weeks :) it would prob be quicker with more peroxide but i got scared lol!
Hey! Id spray it with hydrogen peroxide then rinse off the mold. Make sure when you water the plant that air can get to the drainage holes. Sounds like it may have been sitting in a little water.
Hello I had the same problem I use unglazed terracotta pots and trays. Wait 45 minutes to an hour then check if there is any water standing in the tray pour water out of tray. I check the bottom of my pots especially my hanging plants for mold. Check plants before you watering If I find any mold I take a paper towel or damp cloth dipped in bleach or vinigar to wipe off mold if it looks like mold is growing in the soil I repot the plant. I make sure to get the drainage holes, with a Q-tip After cleaning the tray in hot soapy water I rinse and spray a fungicide on the tray and bottom of the planter. Terracotta pots are great because they are porous, and the bottom is the last thing to dry out. So mold will grow on the bottom of planter, and it's tray. The best thing you can do is try to make sure there is no extra water between planter and try - that's easier said than done. It's a pain for me to check my hanging pots and my large planters.
I have several bags of Fox Farm soil I bought locally. They loaded it in my car and I brought it home. 15 bags to be exact and the store stored them outside. Started unloading them from my car and realized they were twice as heavy as normal. I even had a 1 inch puddle of water on the floor IN MY CAR. I called the store and they apologized. I then asked them if the soil was going to be ok to use after getting this saturated. They said it should be fine. I then called Fox Farm and asked them and they too said it should be ok. Well they were both wrong and I mean WRONG. Opened up the first bag and the entire outside shell of the soil was blanketed with green fungus type mold. I threw away the green fungus shell and tried to use the center that looked ok. Sadly when I did my transplant the top soil grew the white mold seen in this video. It happened within 2 days of using the soil. They had plenty of air flow, light and drainage. Lessen here is do not buy soil stored outside.
I added cinnamon and it seem to proliferate the small amount of mold because it made it harder for top soil to dry, it was thick. I scraped all of that off and place near a window with plenty of natural light but not direct sun, then I turned on my dehumidifier for 50%. To help the soil dry out. There is no exact science to cinnamon on plants and some say you have to have a specific cinnamon. I say go to your garden store or florist and get a spray if the natural light and dehumidifier don't work.
I bought a brand new bag of miracle grow soil and I noticed it had a weird stuffy smell when I opened the bag. Never bought miracle grow soil before so I assumed I'm just not accustomed to the product. It's a top dollar bag of soil. Surely it's me and not the established company. Now every single plant I used that soil with has an intense amount of mold. I've tried cinnamon. Didn't work. So I repotted with different soil (mixed cinnamon into it before putting in the pots). I disinfected the pots and sprayed a the roots with diluted hydrogen peroxide spray. Hopefully I never see the mold again. I've been trying to keep my methods "organic" but....ya know. I did email Miracle Grow and haven't heard back.
@@BotanicalBrunette I haven't seen a singlr spot of mold since I repotted with new soil. I still do my biweekly fish emulsion watering and nothing. Michale Grow still has not emailed me back. Never again. The lower priced soil is better.
Miracle grow is the bane of my existence. The quality is just not there and consistency is all over the place. I find it's much better just to make my own soil using three parts organic peat moss, one or two parts perlite depending on how much I want it to drain, and about a half to whole part of compost. Haven't had a problem since.
usually buy my soil an Amazon, I have noticed when I buy soil from stores like Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart the soil and plants are buggy. The bags aren't airtight and soil sit either outdoors or around many other plants. I buy plants and soil online & plants from nurseries. If a plant is shipped over state lines the nursery is required to certified pants and products are free from pests. I have used Miracle Grow for years with no problem I believe the problem is where soil is stored. I mix Ceylon cinnamon & active charcoal to my soil before using
Hey! So I have mold on my ZZ plant ..I scraped off the top soil and put cinnamon the first time , but a week later wayyy more mold has come back 😩 should I just repot it ?
Hi Michael. Thank you for thinking of me, we’re doing fine. Never lost power. Our yard became a pond and our fence is destroyed but other than that we got lucky. 😊🫶🌿
@@BotanicalBrunette Thank you for the update! My news is sporadic at times. I'm happy you are doing well personally. 😊 I realize it will be a long road ahead repairing the damage. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless! 🪴 🌿
I have a shelf which all my house plants sit on and most of them have the white mold would it be helpful it I got a little fan and had it blow air on the plants so there’s more circulation for the soil? The ceiling fan above the shelf is always on and my apartment is usually at 68 degrees would that be a factor into the mold growing on the soil? I have 3 spider plant and they all have mold on the soil
Thanks for sharing that was spice cabinet cinnamon and not something specialized. Always great when the thing you need is right there in your house already! 🎉
Can this mold on the surface of the soil be harmful to humans? I sprayed 2 of my plants with some fuzzy white mold with diluted hydrogen peroxide in water and an hour later I could not stop coughing. I don’t know if this was the cause but I am now concerned. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
I use to use your method but stopped when I realized it didn't actually do anything but hide the mold that still grew under the cinnamon. I have not tried removing all the mold first though. I use to stir the mold into the top soil till it was not visible anymore and then I would apply the cinnamon. I'll give your method a try next time and let you know how it goes.
There are slime molds. Idk where you live but there's a booger like fungus that grows outdoors around me (New Orleans). Kinda sounds like that. There are so many types of slime mold though.
I have some flowers that are in a hanging pot on my balcony and after I water them I notice that the railings and balcony floor turn white after the water drains and dries. Does anyone know what causes this? And what I can use to remove the white build up? I've tried solutions like vinegar, soup, baking soda and nothing seems to take it off. I also use a plant food once a week, could this cause it?
You most likely have hard water!! It leaves a salty powder residue when you do! It’s not bad for the plants unless it’s a picky plant and it’s not bad for you it should be easy to clean
I had to repot all my plants bc my cat into it cleaned the roots put cinnamon and hydrogen peroxide in the soil I’m about to get baking soda or a fungicide. I just decided to check my plants since it’s been 5 days and they’re moldy 🥲
Oh no! Always make sure your plant gets enough light and air flow. Sometimes the plants on my shelf can get mold due to being so closed in. Hope you were able to figure it out 🌿
Directions start 3:47
Omg thankyou so so much.
Thanks babe!

The problem I've run into is with seedlings. I was overwatering. But a quick fix is a sprinkle of sand overtop and then to reduce watering obviously.
Definitely get this more with seedlings too. Sand sounds interesting, I might try that too. 🌿👏😊

I use cinnamon as well...hydrogen peroxide once in a while jus for a dose of O2 for my plants roots.
👏👏👏
hydrogen peroxide (3%) can be used. I mix 30 ml of that and 70 ml distilled water and spray it on the mold after the sun is gone
you just have to avoid getting it on the leaves

Yes, just the top then sprinkle on the cinnamon. Make sure the air around your plant isn’t too still
Lord have mercy I put the cinnamon on the mold, thanks!
How great video, Thanks for sharing
😊🌿
my dead bouquet have white molds :(( idk how to remove it. hope this helps
U see mold in nature and plants grow fine its appears when it has damp and low light wet soil its part organic matter decomposition process
if you think this is bad just wait till you experience the chalky kind of mold that appears when the soil dries up.
I find when I water with Great White it eats up all that top mold.
Think about penicillins. That’s a good mold. So not all mold is bad.
very true!
It is if you’re allergic to it.
Not for the human gut, my dear. They kill bad and good bacteria.
Thank you. 🌱 Problem solved.
Happy to help 😊👏🌿
I used cinnamon to get rid of fungus gnats, it worked but now I have mold growing 😢
Oh man 🙈 Just make sure you have good air flow and light to that plant.
Use mosquito bits
Does mold in plants sometimes look gel like?
Not usually, it might be polymer crystals. Those can be potting soil to absorb moisture and can become jelly like when wet.
@@BotanicalBrunette I'm trying to narrow it down from mold or mealy bug eggs. Do you have any insight for me on how to distinguish between the two?
@@Ryleeharper14 mold and mealybug eggs are typically white and fuzzy and not jelly. So I’m not sure if it’s either of those.
There are slime molds. Idk where you live but there's a booger like fungus that grows outdoors around me (New Orleans). Kinda sounds like that. There are so many types of slime mold though.
