Strawberry Plant White Mold: Self-Watering Pot Problem

Self-watering pots keep soil constantly wet → mold (white "moss") and root rot. Strawberries need full sun and drainage.

Strawberry plant with white mold

Fix

1. Remove from self-watering pot.
2. Repot in regular pot with drainage.
3. Spray daily with Lysol (12+ inches away) for 2 weeks.
4. Provide full sun all day. Fan for air circulation.

Self-watering pots are unsuitable for most plants. Water by need, not reservoir.
