Hi everyone! I hope the summer is treating you and your plant families well! We have a peace Lilly that has been struggling for the past several months. Upon watering it this past weekend, today I discovered what appears to be fuzzy mold. Has anyone seen or aware of what this might be and what steps I should take to save my plant? Brian H
If it’s super bad I would look into repotting, first you can try an antifungal spray though! Wait a couple days. I purchased organic 4 in 1 neem oil which acts as a fungicide, pesticide, miticide and nematicide. I put it into my own spray bottle and gave the top soil a few sprays evenly and I haven’t seen any white mold or fungus come back yet

I would check the roots and stems just to be safe. If they’re both mushy it would be rot. Usually mould doesn’t affect plants but I would remove it anyways. Usually due to very moist and humid soil.
