# Hi everyone, my polka dot plant has got mould! 😭😭 Does anyone know…

Hi everyone, my polka dot plant has got mould! 😭😭  
Does anyone know what I’m meant to do next? it’s only at the top on the soil, and the plant itself is fine, bad the bottom two leaves. There is also a little mould ground at the base of the stems. Recently a few of the older damaged stems have died, and some of their leaves have been left in the pot, so is it related to them rotting?  
I usually bottom water, but the soil is still moist from top watering last week.  
thank youu :)

I would try killing the mold with a diluted alcohol spray
