I have mold growing in a plant I watered a few days ago. It is in the window with plenty of light, properly drained and healthy. Any ideas on how to keep the mold from growing?

Maybe try replacing the soil with a kind that has good drainage? The soil might be keeping too much water in it even if it seems like it drained out the bottom.

Good air circulation helps dry the soil and helps prevent mold growth

It’s doing much better. I let it sit out on my covered patio when it was warm and it was gone by end of day 😊
