Hi...I would like to ask if anyone knows why houseplant soil gets moldy and how to get rid of it?

Hi Darlie,

I suspect it gets moldy because of excessive dampness.

The best way to get rid of it is to repot the plant in nice new clean soil. Finger-scrape around the roots gently to get rid of as much of the old soil as possible and throw out all the old soil.
