Indoor plants must be cared for properly so that the flowers develop well.

For example, the appearance of mold is a clear indication that mistakes were made.

Therefore, it is worth identifying the main reasons that provoke the emergence of the problem.

What do they consist of?

Violations of watering rules

It is always important to consider the moisture requirements of a particular plant. If you increase the amount of water at your own discretion, the soil will become over-watered.

As a result, mold will appear.

Drainage

In order for indoor plants to be healthy, it is imperative to create a drainage layer. Otherwise, we are again dealing with waterlogged soil.

Not only mold can appear, but also other serious problems associated with diseases.

Soil

Sometimes the problem is not in the mistakes of care, but in the fact that you have purchased low-quality soil. Such soil can be a source of pathogens.

Therefore, it is worth choosing soil from trusted manufacturers.
