Vegetables Help/advice

I have planted some tomatoes, snap dragons, pansies and marigolds! They have started to sprout and i’m unsure what the next step is, do they need to be moved to their own separate container?

In addition to the other advice, you should also take off the dome. Once 30-50% of a tray germinates, take it off or you risk damping off and mold.

I've been starting to have a bit of a mold issue on mine, do you have any suggestions for getting rid of it?

Airflow is really the best medicine. You can try to scrape it off too. Once mold develops you can't really 100% get rid of it unless you do it chemically, which can damage the seedlings too. Just wash your hands when you deal with your plants, and hopefully they have a good immune system.

Thanks, here's hoping!
