One of the most common problems when growing young plants is mold growth on the soil. The growing soil or pots are often responsible for this.
Inferior soil is more prone to mould
Causes of mold growth
| root cause | remedy |
|---|---|
| Sowing soil was commercially available outdoors. There are often one or more small holes in the bags through which germs and spores can penetrate. | Only buy seeds that have been stored indoors. |
| Soil is already open and has been stored in the garage or garden shed (€24.90) for a long time. | Consume seed compost quickly after opening. |
| No name products are also frequently charged. | Rely on high-quality products. |
| The cover has not been removed for days. | The little plants should be aired at least once, better twice a day. |
tips
You can sterilize potting soil in the oven. For this it is sufficient to heat the substrate at 140 degrees for half an hour in the oven. In the microwave, select the highest wattage and leave the soil in the device for about 10 minutes.
