hello! i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to get rid of mold growing on the surface of the soil? both of my pothos seem healthy and happy as ever but there’s a super thin layer of white mold growing on the soil. i moved them to a brighter part of my apartment that gets better airflow, but i’m unsure how to go about getting rid of the mold without hurting the plants. thank you in advance :-)

      this looks like mineral build up from your tap water. you can scrape it off and sprinkle some cinnamon just in case

    You can scrape the top layer off. You can add more light, add a fan, or add amendments to your soil. Those should all help stop the growth of mold

    Watering down some 3% hydrogen peroxide into a watering sessions works too
