Hi Everyone,

I am new on this group and would love to hear your views on the problem that
I have.

I purchased a bag of compost earlier on this year and have used some of it
to start cuttings off in the house and also to repot some African violets..

The problem that I have is that ontop of the compost, it has gone mouldy.
The plants are thriving but the compost is mouldy. I only water from the
bottom.

Could someone please advise what I am doing wrong or what could be causing
the mould.

Many thanks

As long as the seedling/cuttings look OK don't worry.
It is a problem caused by high humidity and cool temperatures.
Some fungii grows on dead material (eg compost).
Some grows on living material.
I don't think there are any grows on both.
