It means your over watering take the dome off and leave it off try to get some heat and light to it so it will dry. Organic cornmeal is good for fungus and mold or plain cormeal that does not have any raising property or flour in it is also good for mold/fungus. I had black mold here and used cornmeal and it has not come back. Of course I am sure you have a lot more Humiditry in Boston then we do in Dallas area.

If you scraped it off and you follow Jimmy's directions your probably going to be fine. I would use caution about drying the soil to much because the coleus is a part of the mint family and likes moist soil. Just not wet. Good luck with your plants.

FlowerNewbie DO NOT USE FLOUR use cornmeal perferably organic cornmeal or plain ole cooking cornmeal. DO NOT USE SELF RISEING cornmeal. I water my Coleus from bottom pan only thing I put in the soil is organic fertilizer once or twice a year. I also use a moisture meter in the house and if it shows even moderate moisture I don't put water in the pan. In summer when they are outside about once or twice a week will spray the leaves with fine spray to get dust etc off of them so they can breathe.
