If you notice a green coating that has formed on the surface of the soil in containers with seedlings, do not worry.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , this phenomenon indicates the appearance of algae due to excessive watering.
Most often, this problem is typical for store-bought soils, which contain a large amount of high-moor peat.
This component of the soil mixture can often contain sphagnum moss spores.
What to do if you find greenery? It's simple - arm yourself with a toothpick and scrape off the green coating, then slightly loosen the soil surface.
If the surface of the earth turns white or orange, it means that salts dissolved in the soil have come to the surface – this happens when it dries out and is watered unevenly.
In this case, there is also no reason to worry.
You can deal with fluffy mold with the help of the drug "Previkur". If you were unable to get it, simply prepare a solution containing Trichoderma and pour it over the soil.
