The bane of cephs....here is a small plant with a major problem.... I like to use the fungicide "Defender". Rather then spray it on (in which case it gets spread all over including onto the soil) I use a Q-Tip to rub the leaf with some of it. Seems to work well as only goes onto leaves and not onto and into the soil.

...I have a similar problem but on a smaller scale. The fungus/mould is just on a leaf, here and there but doesn't cover the entire plant. I mist them and physically remove the mould with my finger. I suspect the cause of this to be stagnant air, at least that's what my 'Ceph Sense' tells me. As soon as it warms up, most of my Cephs are going outside and the ones left inside will go into my new, redesigned (with fans), walk in grow chamber.

Yep I would agree, fungicides can help as a preventative measure or if the plant is in dire straights but getting ride of all the viable spores on the plant, soil, and in the air, can be virtually impossible. Good airflow and a dose of UV light would seem the more permanent solution, I've never seen mold on the Cephs I grow outside.
