Mold?

I’ve never seen mold like this….do I need to repot? It’s very fuzzy and grey, not white. It’s around the entire perimeter but it’s growing pretty fast aside from didn’t notice it last week. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #DIYPlanter #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PLANTMAFIA
6ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
I’d definitely repot and maybe use a different soil?
I had this happen to one of my succulents before. I removed the top layer but it just came back. Eventually I repotted and left it outside in indirect sunlight so the soil could dry before I brought it back inside. Someone on here mentioned it was probably mold from the humidity. I’m not sure if it’s the same for you. But repotting and adding a new (or different) soil might be best.
I would move it outside into a shady area like a covered porch where it might get just a tiny bit of direct light but mostly just bright indirect light and let the soils dry out before watering again. Also I wonder if adding a very tiny bit of peroxide to your watering can when you water might help to kill of the mold? But I don’t know for sure if that will work.
