Anyone have any idea:
1. Why it happens? Are there certain conditions over others that encourage it?
2. How to get rid of it? Is it a balancing of nutrients? Adding something (lime?)?
Would appreciate any help.... I want to replenish the soil, add some chicken poop, dolomite, phosphate...but I also want to get rid of that mold!!

PS The photo is of a Vireya 'Java Plum'...very fragrant and blooms all of the time!
