Add Ventilation

Mold can grow as a consequence of built-up condensation or moisture. One of the most common places to find mold in your home is in the bathroom, attic, or basement.

These places commonly have built-up condensation from differing temperatures or wet weather. Adding some extra ventilation will allow the condensation to escape instead of landing on your plants. It’s also a good idea to open windows when you take a shower.

Remove Soil Mold

You may notice mold on your plants because of the discoloration of your soil. The soil may have a white tinge to it. Simply use a spoon to remove the mold you can see and add fresh soil where necessary.

You may have to remove the plant and re-plant in new soil if the mold has reached the bottom of the plant. When the mold travels that far, there’s a risk of it overtaking the plant at the root.

Monitor Watering

If your plants appear damp, watering them could do more harm than good. Mold is created from an excess of moisture, so your plant soil will need to dry before you begin watering regularly again.

Damp soil can be a sign of excess condensation in your home. If you’re worried about mold in your home, getting a mold inspection could uncover the problem. After all, mold in the home can be harmful to residents.

Try an Anti-Fungal Spray

Getting rid of mold can be tricky, so it’s best to do what you can to prevent it. An anti-fungal spray is a great way to give your plant soil the protection it needs to fight off mold.

If you do find the mold and remove it, an anti-fungal spray can stop it from returning. You don’t need to spend a fortune on expensive concoctions either. A small amount of apple cider vinegar or a few spoons of cinnamon mixed with water will do the trick.

Preventing Mold on Plants

Plants that are susceptible to mold often need a lot of care. Preventing mold on plants can take time and effort, but it’s certainly worth it to see your plants thriving.

Mold anywhere in the home is something to take seriously, but mold on plants isn’t usually harmful. Take a look at some more top tips on how to look after indoor plants and ensure they flourish by reading more of our blog.
