house plant mold


Question
I have white fuzzy mold on several of my houseplants. It does not seem to be bothering my plants however, could it be harmful to my family. After i water them you can smell the mold. I know some mold is harmful. Any answers? Thank you.

Answer
Kelly,

You are overwatering, your plants need to dry out. The mold will probably not hurt your family and will go away if you cut back on the amount of water you are giving your plants. You can spray the mold with Lysol spray and it will go away but you need to dry the plants out or the roots will start rotting and your plants will die. Good luck.
