Hey just wondering if I’m getting mold around my propagations? It’s like a white little thing around the stems it hasn’t taken over and I am being told to redo the water . How can I help?

Is it actually mold? When my props are about to put out roots, they grow/develop a white “mold” before the roots starts to grow

Idk if this is a better photo but it’s on another one of my props too?

Looks like some biofilm. I like to rinse it off and spray with a hydrogen peroxide dilution (3%). Replace the water as well. I like to clean out the container when this happens.
