My Aloe Vera plant has mold in it's dirt.. WHY?

Question

I have a pretty big Aloe Vera plant and I am always finding mold like chunks in the dirt.

So I transplanted the plant into a new pot with new soil and it just started again. I keep cleaning it out but it keeps coming back, it kinda looks like green mold building up at the surface of the dirt.

What is this and how do I get rid of it for good? Any plant experts out there?

Answer 1

Too much water, how wet are you keeping the soil.  Do you have the propper soil?  Scotts makes a soil for cactuses and succulents that is very good with the drainage.

Also you may want to look into a chemical that can take care of the fungus, like something made by Bayer, or an Organic product made by Green Light

Answer 2

Mold likes cool, damp air and darkness. Make sure your plant has a chance for the soil to dry between waterings and keep the plant in a sunnier location with good air circulation.

Answer 3

keep the potted aloe in the sun and don't overwater.  you'd practically have to kill the plant to totally be rid of the mold
