hey guys. im pretty much new to the vivarium world and i have a mold question. today i notice on the roots of my bromiliads there was some white fuzzy mold growing on them, however it brushed right off. the broms which are neoregelia are mounted against a peatmoss background. do yall think too much water is collecting by contact of the roots and the background cuasing mold to develope. should i place some dry sphagnum moss around the roots to absorb excess moisture? i do not have any springtails yets since its much too cold to order.

thanks yall

I noticed the save thing the other day, so today I put a thousand our so springs around them and I'm going its all good. Is it like stringy and whitish?

Do you have pics? Because growing neo roots look white and fuzzy... and its not mold...

thanks guys. sorry no pics. however i just saw a photo of a neoregelia root system and it did shed some light. so im thinking it was a combination of both mold and new roots bc i notice the white fuzzy cobweb material all on the roots and as well on the the new pup sprouting which is around an inch from the mother plant now
