Do you have a picture?

#### Plantlover\<3さんが2023-09-06に返信しました

Not at the moment, but it looks like maybe 2 small mold patches after I water it.

Here for the same question! I get this with one plant

#### Brooklynさんが2023-09-06に返信しました

That’s because of the moisture in the soil! It happened to my mint plant, remove it and sprinkle some cinnamon all over the soil!

What type of plant are you having issues with? What kind of drainage do you have? And is there any dead foliage? Could be some kind of bug. I always say pull the plant out of the pot and inspect the roots. If there is an issue usually repotting and adjusting drainage has helped me when I’m stumped.

It’s my emerald ripple plant, it has good drainage. It did have like one piece of dead foliage, but I picked that out. That last time I repotted it (maybe a month ago) the roots looked healthy.

Mold on top of the soil? What kind of pot are they in? They may need some circulation. I had a problem with white mold forming on some of my terra cotta pots but getting a fan and plenty of light helped a lot.

It was on top of the soil, it’s in a clay pot. It has okay ish circulation lol, but other than that it’s very healthy!

it’s okay and won’t hurt anything. just scoop it out. You can sprinkle cinnamon on the soil. Small fan for air circulation.
