I will remind you, not all molds are fungus(Slime molds are protist). Also, I think some ispods could take care of some small mold.terrellgriffin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 5:51 amHello,
If keeping a terrarium, it is necessary to create a comfortable ecosystem: https://mytutorsource.qa/blog/ecosystem/ for them. To get rid of mold in a terrarium, gently remove all of the plants and accessories. The container must next be disinfected by washing it with soap and hot water. Any stones or other ornaments should also be washed.
Mold, in general, has little effect on healthy plants. It becomes a concern if it begins to take over the entire terrarium, although a small amount of fuzz is not a severe hazard. Fungi are saprotrophic, and a mold is a form of fungus.
You must act quickly if you see mold or fungus in your terrarium. That's because it'll spread and do more harm if it doesn't. Mold (fungus) appears as white fluff or webbing in the terrarium and can appear everywhere. Other varieties of fungus may appear as black or brilliant patches on plant leaves, for example. Mealybugs, which can occasionally be seen on plants, are not to be confused with mold. Mealybugs are little white bugs with a bulkier appearance. To get rid of mealybugs on a plant, soak a cotton bud in alcohol and gently wipe the mealybugs away. Remove the plant and replace it with a healthy one if a large percentage of it is damaged.
