I’m having issues with mold on my soil in my plant cabinet. In spite of the fans I’ve added, it seems like I’m not beating the mold. Do I need to upgrade my fans? If so does anyone have a small fan they would recommend?

The air can’t be stagnant either.
get a fan
Take them out of the cabinet. I write this a lot but I’m in a dry climate. Humidity isn’t this important. Trying to keep it high is what leads to these issues.
Humidity is just not as important as people want to imagine. Light is, root moisture is, but not humidity.
Stick them outside. They’ll love it.
First off, the Audrey sculpt is 💯🔥👌
Second, I have 2 IKEA cabinets filled to the brim with Nepenthes. They also share space with my Heliamphora whom absolutely love to be wet. Every morning AND night, I spray the Heli’s generously, overflowing their pitchers as to mimic their natural habitat the best I can.
When I do this, I also very quickly spray the whole cabinet to further boost my humidity.
(It stays at a consistent 70-80% all day)
I too have two small pc fans in each cabinet and
this will be my 3rd season performing these daily rituals, and I have had not a single mold or pest issue *knocks on wood*.
All that to say, it might be your figurines?! 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t really know.
