I accidentally watered my plant with moldy water (I used my watering can which apparently had grown some mold on the inside). What should I do? I watered straight from the tap after I realized. This is my favorite plant and I don’t want to lose her!

She’ll be just fine. Mold is a part of earth \& soil. Mine have mold growing on top of the soil, just really annoying to look at. You also watered and flushed it right after. Just treat her like normal. :)
