Sometimes, due to excessive humidity in the room, mold appears in pots with flowers. It can be black or white. Black mold can harm the plant itself and the residents of the house. It can cause an allergic reaction. White mold appears due to excessive humidity and heat. The soil in the pot becomes dense, so the plant cannot breathe. At the same time, the mineral composition and acidity of the soil are disturbed. If nothing is done, the plant may die in the near future.

Causes of mold:

  • Watering with poor quality water.
  • Frequent moisturizing in large quantities.
  • There is no drainage in the pot or the holes are blocked.

How to deal with this problem?

As soon as mold appeared, it is necessary to take certain measures immediately. White mold immediately permeates the entire soil. To begin with, you need to remove the top layer of the earth and sprinkle the earth lightly with a pink solution of manganese. After that, add new soil, charcoal, a little sand, and pour a solution of Fitosporin — M. And it will be even better to replace the soil in the pots with a new one. From time to time, you need to water the flowers with a solution of Fitosporin – M. It will protect the plant from mold and fungal spores and will feed them. Water the flowers when the soil dries out. After watering, be sure to loosen the soil.

Preventive measures:

  • Pots should have drainage holes so that water does not stagnate in them.
  • Choose a soil that contains trichodermin and charcoal.
  • Open the top layer of the earth with sand or expanded clay.
  • Make sure that the lighting is of good quality, because mold does not tolerate it.
  • Nourish flowers with ash infusion.
By following these steps, you can prevent mold from affecting your potted plants and ensure they thrive in a healthy environment.
