@kkenndall White mold, also known as powdery mildew, is a fungal disease that affects various plants and vegetation. This white fuzzy mold can cover the leaves and stems of indoor and outdoor plants, and in some cases, cover the entire plant—including fruits and buds—in white and gray fungal spores.
How to get rid of white mold on plants: to kill mold on indoor plants, you can use a mixture of baking soda, water, and dish soap. Another natural method to get rid of houseplant mold is to make a milk spray, which helps to neutralize the cottony white mold. Neem oil is another natural mold remedy for indoor plants.
How to make a baking soda spray to kill plant mold:
Dissolve one tablespoon baking soda in 1/2 gallon (2 l) of water.
To the mixture, add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid soap and mix thoroughly.
Fill a spray bottle and liberally spray the white mold of the affected plant leaves and stems.
Let the plant dry.
Repeat as necessary until the white powdery mildew has gone.
If the baking soda solution seems ineffective, then you can try using potassium bicarbonate as a more powerful antifungal spray.
The addition of dish soap helps the baking soda stick to the plant and increase its effectiveness.
When using baking soda to get rid of white plant mold, it’s important to remember that the sodium content will eventually seep into the soil. In time, this can affect the plant’s growth. So, you may have to flush the soil occasionally to remove a buildup of salts and other minerals.
