# I got my jade plant in April from my local supermarket, and it was…

I got my jade plant in April from my local supermarket, and it was pretty small when I got it. It’s been in perfect health from then and is growing fast. The other week I noticed a small patch of white mould growing, I think it’s grown off a dead jade leaf lying in the soil. I don’t know if it had fallen off into the pot from another jade plant at the supermarket, because none of the leaves seem to have fallen off my one. I left it to see if it went away, or if the plant/soil would absorb it. It is still here, should I remove it or just leave it?? (Sorry for blurry photo)

I would remove it. Mold isn’t good around plants. Just take it out, as well as a bit of the soil around it to make sure you got all of it. Hope this helps! 💚

Thanks so much, I’ll do that! 😊

Sometimes that doesn’t work because mold comes back. After removing it two days in a row after it coming back, I would change the soil and rinse the pot.

I saw some mold in one of my cacti I just transplanted. I figured it’s just humid because of summer. I left it but I don’t concern myself with it. If it got too bad I’d remove it. (I have a mindset of if I can’t throw it in the ground and it grows I can’t have it or I’ll kill it :p ). Do what makes you feel better.

As a microbiologist I will say there’s billions of these microbes in the soil so if the plant looks ok then it should be fine. Listen to what your plant says.

I got a jade plant too btw. It was very scraggly but is growing quick now!

Thanks so much @Edward!! That helps, my jade plant is growing suuuuuper fast too, I’ve never seen a plant grow as quick!! :D

Sometimes with mold what’s lacking is good air flow around the plant, if you’re able to set it near an open window or air it outside for an hour a day that might help. They like dryness.
