Pests and mold

Every now and then, your indoor garden may attract a few uninvited guests.

The good news? Most mold and pests are far easier to get rid of than they look.

Green algae or white mold on the growing medium

This can occasionally appear during the early stages of growth.

We recommend using the growing domes, which reduce the amount of light reaching the growing medium and water.

If mold does appear, lightly sprinkle the surface of the growing medium with ground cinnamon.

Yes—the very same cinnamon you put in your apple pie.

Tiny flies around your plants

These are most likely fungus gnats.

Their larvae can damage both the roots and the growing medium.

We recommend using yellow sticky traps to reduce their population quickly and effectively.
