# Hi everyone!! I just got some new indoor plants for the first time in…

Hi everyone!!

I just got some new indoor plants for the first time in a while and I’ve had them for a couple weeks now. Within the last week they’ve started growing mold (orchid, spider plant, Chinese money plant). The pots have drainage holes in them so that shouldn’t be the issue. It’s possible I might be overwatering them so I’m trying to scale back on that. What other recommendations do you have for getting rid of mold? I’ve tried cinnamon and today I tried spraying it with diluted hydrogen peroxide. Let me know if anyone has any experience with this and thank you in advance! :)

White

That may not be mold it could be good bacteria in the soil

Bottom water, and don’t over water
