Hey all,

I think I have successfully survived a spider mite attack, but now I'm on to my next problem... Some white fluffy mould or something is growing in the moss.

Any ideas why? And how to fix it?

It was hard to get good photos because it's tucked behind 4 traps.

For now I'll open the window to increase air flow and maybe rotate it so it gets more sun

That fuzzy gray mold usually isn't a problem, but I haven't seen it as heavy as that in a while.
You could try an anti fungal like Bioadvanced 3 in 1 to knock it down, but the best thing would be to put it outside. They do much better outside, and the airflow will take care of the mold and help prevent it from happening again.

Thanks for the advice, I live in a very windy city so a little worried about the traps catching each other in wind but I'll try find a sheltered enough corner.
