Default Re: Fungicide for mold that is not toxic for humans.

Richard thanks for sharing.

Natural or at least house hold remedy safe or CPs against Molds and Algae is always an interest for me and so far I have not really found one that works well.

I have pots with molds.
I have pots with blue green Algae (bacteria)

Unfortunately I don't have a known "cure" for them still.

I read about Betadine, Hydrogen Peroxide, and I even have some sulfur powder, no conclusive evidence, but my tests were not very scientific.

Please share if any of the remedies you try is effective. Oh, I also heard using charcoal helps.

TTFN
Arvin

Hello

I found that diluted pasteurized milk or hydrogen peroxide did not kill the mold. However, I have not tried it as a preventative yet. It may work if it is applied before the algae or mold appears to prevent it. However, I heard that milk and baking soda is alkaline so it may be detrimental to the plants. That is why it would be good to do some experiments on a few plants first and compare how the plants grow. Please let me know of anyone that is interested in doing this.

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard
