Mold on soil

#ParlourPalm it looks like it started fanning out. I think I overwatered maybe or not enough sunlight. Followed Greg’s watering instructions. Notice soil has mold on it. I think it might die can this be saved?
10ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

It just needs more light. Fear not, moldy soil will not kill your plant. Try repotting into a one size up pot and adding new soil. Parlor palms need direct sunlight less than 3 feet from the window, that should help with the mold too. You can trim the old leggy growth if you want to make more room, it looks a little stuffy in that pot. Good luck πŸ€
The point above is a good one but activated charcoal in your soil mix will help with the mild as well.
