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. If you have what looks like white mold on top of your houseplant soil, that is also mineral buildup. To avoid mineral buildup, use filtered water rather than tap water. Over-fertilizing can also increase mineral buildup. Remove excess organic matter from the pot. Fungi feed on organic matter to survive. Removing dead leaves and other organic debris around the pot will help remove the fungi’s food source. The white chalky residue on the terracotta pots can either be mineral deposits or white mold. Although they have a resembling appearance, you can differentiate them easily. If the white residue appears in flat patches and feels solid on touching, it is simply salt and mineral deposits from the hard water. However, if the white stuff is slightly raised on the pot and feels fluffy when you touch it, the white mold is growing on your terracotta pot. 2. Why are my terracotta pots growing mold?

To make a solution, take a container and mix four tablespoons of the dishwasher with the same amount of neem oil in some water. Dip the sponge into it and gently clean the whole pot. It cleans the pot and seeps through it into the soil for future protection.

But there are a few things to do before you start painting terracotta pots. So, before I jump into the steps, let’s talk about what kind of paint to use. The neem oil concentrate removes the mold and helps protect the plant from future mold growth and pests ². Wait for 10 minutes. Then, scrub the pot vigorously — but be careful not to disturb the plant as you do so. Rinse the pot with water to remove the mold. Step 4: Paint your pots – Use your foam sponge brush to paint the base coat. After you have your base coat on the terracotta pot, use non-thinned paint to add 2-3 additional coats. Make sure the plant receives good airflow. Using a fan is an easy way to promote air circulation around indoor plants.
