Most of the plants prefer to be watered when the soil is dry. If you keep watering the plants without the soil being dry, it will lead to mold formation and other problems. Overwatering is never a healthy factor for the plant’s growth. So, to prevent mold growth, you need to avoid unnecessary watering of the plants, only water when the soil is dry enough.

While looking carefully at the growth, if you find something velvety or fuzzy white, then it is mold growth. The moisture-absorbing quality is also beneficial for the winter season preventing continuous moisture exposure to the soil and roots. Allow the pot to sit for at least 15-20 minutes with hydrogen peroxide solution on it. You might notice the sputter due to the acid-mold interaction. Then use a separate kitchen sponge, scrub, or a spare toothbrush to scrape all the growth off the pot. Instead of spraying, the pots can also be left dipped in water and hydrogen peroxide solution if you have got them empty for cleaning.

White mold’s growth pattern is somewhat circular compared to mineral deposits’ uniform distribution.

A 3% hydrogen peroxide solution can do wonders when getting rid of that nasty white mold growing on terracotta pots. It is a weak acid that is an effective fungicide in its protonated(solution) form. For cleaning, take a spray bottle and fill it up with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Start spraying in a circular motion until the whole pot is covered with the solution.
