Hello everyone!

I have just noticed that my plant is growing some mold… does anyone know what I should do or what could have caused this?

Remove the mold and add cinnamon to the top of the soil, it’s normal but usually happens when the soil stays wet too long

Thank you so much!

Cinnamon or peroxide. You can try to increase air circulation to the area. That helps avoid mold growth on the top too

Thanks so much! I added the cinnamon a few days ago and I haven’t seen any mold since then :)
