Hi guys.2-3 weeks ago I squeezed one of my plants at the bottom too heavily and it started to dry out at the outer layers.A week ago I poured some fresh water with nuts on the "wound".This week it recovered very well but the dried out bottom got some mold I believe.What do I do?

Pull away the pebbles from the area. Clean the area with a mix of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. 1 cup of water with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide 3%. Wipe are clean first, then dip a Q tip in the solution and wipe the area. Throw away the Q tip and repeat with a clean one. Clean area every 12 hrs and see if that helps.

Thx a lot guys, I appreciate your suggestions. I'll try out what @DoctorGreenThumb suggests BUT I already cut a thin slice off with all the mold but will treat it today the way you described. It's the only plant that got it. I'm happy for this kind of advice, I was rather expecting a "dump that bitch" advice so it's all cool :)

Try to wipe it off and burying on the substrate would be my advice. Are they all like it or just this one?

maybe a light H2O2 spray ? i can't suggest safest dose, but google can fil in that portion. People use it in reservoirs, so if diluted will be safe for this application if careful too.
