Does anyone know how to destroy the white mold that grows on top of the soil in my indoor house plants? Will rocks on top of the soil work?

I usually put alcohol in a spray bottle and spray the top layer

You could use more chunky soil! I would recommend SolSoils, but I use premixed soil from my local plant nursery( surprisingly chunky) and some cheap perlite

Ok. Thank you I may try that also.

I reccomend mixing some baking soda with water and spraying the top it doesn’t harm the plants

Consistently wet soil promotes the growth of fungus. Let the soil dry out between watering.

Are you using it as a self watering pot? Is there a wick continuously providing water to the soil? I recommend not leaving water full time in the bottom. Let the soil dry out.

Provide good airflow to dry the water more quickly in the soil.

A commercial fungicide will get rid of fungus. 🍀🪴

Great. Thank you. I do use the self watering pots for all of my plants.
