If, on the contrary, the soil is too soaked with water, remove the glass or cork cap until the humidity evaporates. If necessary, you can also gently squeeze out the foam present in the jar.

Mold has settled on my plants or on the soil

You notice that a cottony and white deposit has settled on your plants or on the soil ? This is very often a sign of too high hygrometry and a lack of light. To remedy this, first remove this mold using a clean cloth, and cut off any leaves that may also be affected.
