Deep Soil Mold in 43 Plants: Drainage, Lysol, Skewer Method

You have two mold types in 43 plants: surface mold (manageable) and deep, white ball-like mold against pot walls/roots. Miracle-Gro + extra perlite isn't preventing it.

Root Cause

Chronic overwatering / poor drainage. Pots must have holes + trays. Empty trays 1 hour after watering.

Systematic Fix

  1. Use bamboo skewer in every pot. Water ONLY when lower 2 inches are dry.
  2. Spray Lysol on soil surface and leaves every 3 days until controlled.
  3. Keep adding perlite.
  4. Increase light/airflow.

Scale

43 plants need a routine. Skewer method makes it fast and accurate.
