Admirers of indoor plants often encounter the appearance of white bloom on the ground around the flower, which pretty much spoils the appearance of the whole green composition. Typically this kind mold signals the presence of a harmful fungus in the pot, which, in favorable conditions, begins to multiply rapidly.
In this article I will tell you more about this problem, as well as give some tips on how you can quickly solve this problem.
When you noticed that the pot so-called white bloom appeared, then in no case ignore this phenomenon - any fungus has a negative effect on plants, to the point that your green "pet" may soon simply die.
As practice shows, most often such a problem arises due to excessive moisture, both of the soil itself and of the air, as well as if the temperature regime is not observed in the room. Therefore, watch the frequency of watering and do not flood the plants with water unnecessarily - wait until the earth dries well.
Getting rid of mold by simply removing it from the upper layers of the soil will not work, since the spores of the fungus have already spread throughout the flower pot. The best option is transplant the plant into clean soil, while the old flower pot is also recommended to be replaced.
However, if such radical measures to combat the fungus cannot be carried out, we will act easier, namely, with activated carbon - remove the top layer of soil and sprinkle the remaining soil with crushed activated carbon. Loosen a little to help the coal penetrate the ground. After that, add the missing amount of pure soil mixed with the same crushed activated carbon to the pot - now the fungus will certainly not approach the plant.
These methods will help save indoor "pets" from mold and forget about harmful fungus. Be sure to then work on the mistakes and eliminate the reasons due to which the white bloom "settled" in your pots - this is the only way to prevent its further appearance.
