That's too bad, sorry. Good job building it, however, it's probably air-tight. I'd give a shot of copper fung. on a milder day with some fresh air. You should be fine anyways, there's mold spoors around all the time. Just needs a little ventilation every now and then.

Looks like some of the plants are touching the sides of the plastic. That will transfer moisture and cause mold.

Can you open up the south side on sunny winter days?

Never make any winter protection which has zero ventilation. I fried & killed my first palm because of that. I thought that high temperature inside will be enough to make it through Winter :(
