Hi #Plantstadon does anyone know what keeps causing this mould (I think it’s mould) to keep growing on the soil of my aloe vera plant?

I’ve cleaned it out before and changed the soil but it keeps coming back, none of his babies have had this issue??

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it I don’t want to lose him 😭

@nsfyoubro do you get little bugs jumping about around this pot? If so it might be the fungus fungus gnats eat and letting it dry out more between waterings might help

@robmccracken no gnats thankfully! I haven’t watered it in about a month and won’t be watering it for another few weeks so hopefully the mould won’t grow back this time!
