i just planted some rosemary and milkweed and the soil on top has this mold or mildew. how do i get rid of it without killing the plants? or is it even a big enough deal to get rid of?

I don’t know if cinnamon will kill it but I do know it can help prevent it in the future. It also helps with pests

It’s fine don’t worry, this type of mould is pretty common in damp humid conditions, people only get rid of it as it’s unsightly

I have this on some of my seeds too, it is usually gone away once the seed sprouted
