Question
Greetings,

I am using clay pots for the first time to start some herbs and miniture rose varieties which have just begun to sprout, they're barely out of the soil and the clay pots are getting mold growth on them.  What should be done about this, if anything?

Any advice you could give would be appreciated.

Thank You,

Frosty

Answer
I don't use clay pots or recommend them. You will have better success with plastic pots. They hold the moisture better, are lighter to handle, last longer, and as you have discovered, they don't get mold, like clay pots do. I would find another use for the clay pots, and plant your plants in plastic pots.
