Morningggg everyone! Mold! How do I get rid of it? I change the topsoil and put new soil and it just keeps coming back. Ever since I repotted this has been happening ☹️

Maybe you are overwatering, I’d make sure the top inch or two is dry before watering. I used cinnamon in the soil when I pot them but you can also sprinkle it on top and water it in slowly, it’s a natural fungicide and I also treat the soil with neem oil. Maybe try those things and see if it helps. 🌱🤎🌱

Spray peroxide on top of soil.

I’ve been going through this myself. I’ve learned a lot of things about me actually going through this. I overwater my plants so I get this yellow and white mold, depending on the pot and the soil I use sometimes I get these yellow mushrooms. I have been on project repot I changed over to naked root pots and better soil stuff vs what we get at Home Depot!

During project repot, I saw that it’s not just the top soil that gets the mold and the mushrooms. It goes all the way down in layers. And mind you before project repot I was using hydrogen peroxide and alcohol and none of that helped and I was removing the topsoil. It just always kept on coming back.
