Growing from Seed

Mold on seeds

10 years ago

I've got some seedlings growing in containers in my bedroom on the dresser in front of a window. question, some of them have a little bit of fuzzy mold also growing in the dirt. I wipe it off but it comes back by morning. is this going to kill my seeds? what can I do? why is it happening?

Diluted hydrogen peroxide will get the mold.
Take a tablespoon of the 3% hydrogen peroxide in a cup of water. Spray it or dab it onto the mold and seeds.
