Hello all. I picked up a few Heli over the last few months. I put them in my highland tank and they have been doing well. Lost a few pitchers but new growth is coming in. I went to check the soil tonight and saw some green slime algae in the pots and one has some mold on it. How do I get rid of it without harming the plants?

Spraying the surface with hydrogen peroxide helps, and I've heard that if you make the top layer live sphagnum it will prevent it from growing in the first place. I'm dealing with the same problem since growing things in 99% humidity leads to some strange things popping up.

Will H2O2 also kill the mold?
