White, fuzzy mold on soil

Question

My houseplants have a white, fuzzy mold on the top layer of the soil, despite using my dehumidifier and I am not overwatering.

Answer 1

You may need to replace it with fresh, new potting soil. If you have a plant that needs continuous moisture, you may not be able to avoid the mold. Sunlight helps.
