If you notice any signs of "mold" or fungus on the soil, it's a sign that the soil is staying wet for too long or that the plant isn't getting enough light. It's important to only fill the water reservoir of your easyplant once the soil is dry. White patches or growths often thrive in moist environments due to overwatering, poor airflow, or insufficient light, which stresses the plant and contributes to fungal growth.
Note, in most cases this isn't a true mold and is actually a type of fungus, similar to most mushrooms. It is not dangerous to your plant or your health, and is mainly a cosmetic issue.
How do I fix it?
Gently scrape off or pluck any visible fungus, or mushrooms from the top of the soil using clean tools like a spoon or chopstick to avoid contamination. Repeat this process 2–4 times if necessary to fully remove residual fungus.
Once the fungus has been removed or if the mold is throughout the soil, place the plant in a more brightly lit spot with good air flow to let the soil dry out. Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top of the soil will help prevent mold from coming back, since it's a natural antifungal. If the fungus is persistent, poking a few holes in the top of the soil will also help more airflow get down into the soil. If the fungus persists, mist the exposed soil with a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide or apple cider vinegar to eliminate fungal spores before applying cinnamon again. For severe or recurring cases, consider topping up the soil with fresh houseplant potting mix to replace heavily affected areas.
