Mold is a dangerous fungus that negatively affects the quality of young sprouts. Therefore, it is important to start fighting the problem in time.
But to prevent it from appearing, it is even better to know why mold appears on containers with seedlings.
There are several reasons.
Most often, mold forms if the soil was over-moistened. Do not water the seedlings too often if the pot does not have drainage holes.
In addition, high air humidity and lack of ventilation and airing can lead to the problem.
Trouble also occurs when the flowerpots are placed too far from the light, and are watered with tap water that has not had time to settle for at least a day.
It is also important to consider that it is important to periodically loosen the soil so that air can reach the roots. If you ignore the procedure, mold will also appear, and the sprouts may begin to wither.
As experienced gardeners note, sometimes the cause of mold on containers with seedlings is manure in the soil.
Therefore, such fertilizer should not be added to pots.
