Mold can be caused by a number of things including poor maintenance, over-watering, or lack of sunlight. Mold growing on the houseplants' soil or on the actual leaves of the plant is both harmful for the members of the household and for the plants.

All soil has mold spores in it. Add water and the mold grows. What accelerates the growth is dark,and moist.

overwatering and not enough drainage.
