My top layer of soil seems to have a very fine layer of Fuzzy White Mold. My humidity stays at 60% and ther is a total of 4 fans in my dresser so plenty of air flow. Any ideas, is it going to hurt my babys? Can't really see well in pic but heres on anyway

couldnt see alot of mould there, i would just scrape off the top layer and repace it with some fresh soil... should be all good ..

Yea I would take about an inch off the top layer and put some fresh soil in there and monitor it.

did you feed bone meal?

Because that's probably what it is. Calcium deposits. Everyone thinks that's a layer of mold on their soil.

I don't even see it in your picture. It looks like soil.

ive had this tons of times. If you cant get your RH down and let the soil dry out u will eventually run into issues with mold or mildew on the plant. Though from my exp the white stuff on soil is harmless and dissapears as soon as dry.
