hi there people,
a few of my plants seem to get white fungus on top of the soil.. i scrape it off when i can but am trying to prevent it from coming rather then just removing.
i heard neem oil was good at stopping this? (diluted)
was aslo thinking of adding a layer on sand on top of the soil so it would not grow.. anyones views on this? am i right in saying this should be silica sand? or is there an alternative?
one issue i might have is not being sure how damp the soil is.. especially in winter and might over water?
i also heard that Cephalotus actually does better with a thin layer?
thanks for sharing your experience..
