    repot! change the soil to something sandy and chunky and make sure to wash the plant off before putting it in the new soil. also wash the pot too. usually this happens when the soil is too wet. could be overwatering, could be too dense of soil. but it never hurts to give it a better soil base

      Just remember not all mold is bad I learned this a few weeks ago and kakes is jumping the gun cause it probably was very beneficial for your plant

    Might not have to do what the first comment said cause honestly when your soul is rich with nutrients slight fuzz which is mold develops on the top of the soil which is greasy but not fun to look at so you simply grab a stick like a chopstick and mix it in the soil
