i would personally change the soil spray the the roots with 1 part peroxide and 4 parts water and repot. I’ve seen this done with rubbing alcohol as well but it has to be done in moderation. but i’m sure there’s other ways just the way i do it! hope that helps! 🌱

The mould won’t hurt your plant. It obviously doesn’t look great though. Either change the soil or just leave it. If you throw enough beans in there it should fill out and you might forget there’s mould
