I've just recently noticed (past 2-3 weeks)that there is a weird white mold growing on top of the soil of all my house plants. Could it be from bad plant food? It doesn't seem to be stressing the plants, but its always there. I took a pic - Does anyone know what this is from and how to get rid of it?

Let the surface of the soil dry out to a depth of 1/2 an inch before you water again. Use the sun if possible like Pepper said. The fungus probably likes the excess moisture and low light levels. As the weather is cooling, your plants will not require as much water. The plants won't be damaged by the fungus. It's just nature breaking down organic matter as Pepper also suggests.

The secret is the soil.

Liz,
Watering from the bottom instead of the top will correct the problem also. If it persists, try a product called Soap Shield. You can get it at www.gardensalive.com. I use it all of the time. Mix about 8 drops to 1 quart of warm water. Spray the foliage and the soil. It will stop powdery mildew also. Good luck!
