I got my jade plant in April from my local supermarket, and it was pretty small when I got it. Itā€™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 itā€™s grown off a dead jade leaf lying in the soil. I donā€™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 isnā€™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! šŸ’š

      Sometimes that doesnā€™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 itā€™s just humid because of summer. I left it but I donā€™t concern myself with it. If it got too bad Iā€™d remove it. (I have a mindset of if I canā€™t throw it in the ground and it grows I canā€™t have it or Iā€™ll kill it :p ). Do what makes you feel better. As a microbiologist I will say thereā€™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!

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