» arcticblonde - White fuzzy mold on soil and base of Gerbera Daisy plant


I bought a Gerbera Daisy from a local nursery about a month ago to have as an indoor houseplant. The leaves look droopy and now that the original blooms drooped and died, I cut them off because there were new ones emerging. Now the new buds at the base of the plant & the base of all the stems/leaves are engulfed in this white fuzz. There is also white powdery looking fuzz on top of most of the soil. The whole plant is droopy and dying. Is there anything I can do to save it?
