# I need help w my prop box !! I made this prop box about two weeks ago…

_Posted by Elle on 2024-07-08_

I need help w my prop box !!

I made this prop box about two weeks ago - it’s sphagnum moss soaked in water and Super Thrive and a small glass of water to help with humidity. First pic is when I made it, second pic is today.

There seems to be some mold growing on some of the plants - I’m worried it may be too humid AND I’m worried that the mold will spread. My plan is to take out the glass of water and any visible mold.

Any thoughts/advice ??

I would definitely start by taking out the glass of water, the damp moss should be more than enough with it being closed. Now when I say ‘damp moss’ I’m assuming you squeezed out any excess water after soaking. If it’s too wet it’ll rot your plants.  
Sometimes leaving the lid cracked a little helps, whether you open it once a day or leave it propped open it needs air circulation.

Neem oil helps kill molds and mildews 👍
