Powdery mildew, another name for white mold, is a fungal disease that attacks a variety of plants and vegetation. In certain situations, this white fuzzy mold can cover a complete plant, including the fruits and buds, with gray and white fungal spores.
White mold, similar to green mold, can also cover the leaves and stems of both indoor and outdoor plants. Since white mold is contagious if it is not treated, it can spread swiftly to other plants. Although a small amount of white powder is usually innocuous, the more of it spreads, the more of a problem it might become.
