Do oranges grow mold and how I would like to know because I am growing mold on an orange that is cut in half for the Science Fair at my school. If you have an answer go right ahead and type it.?

Oranges can grow mold better because an orange does not have any preservatives, unlike some bread and stupid idiots..., or cheese. Preservatives help the food not mold or grow fungus. -P.S. I am in 7th grade and i learned about this today in class, i am doing a project on it. Hope it answered your question. -Oranges can grow mold, as long as mold spores are present. Mold will grow best once the orange begins to decompose (preservatives don't last forever, therefore mold may grow on any decomposing organic matter)
