| I have started a Ficus branch implant. It has sprouted small roots, and is now acquiring some white mold on the branch just above the soil. What is wrong? PLEASE HELP. |

japanpsyhic,
Do you mean that you are attempting to root a cutting and the soil is getting moldy? Let the surface of the soil dry a little more before watering or misting it again.
It sounds to me that your soil is too heavily organic. The only time I have aver had any mold issues is when I used homemade, organic, fertilizer cakes.

| I read somewhere if you where concerned about mold/fungi on the soil or around vegetation you could likely use Tinactin spray (antifungal) with positive results. |
