This is getting a tad bit annoying!!!

this is the second time that i cure wood for my aquarium, place it in with my BP, and 1 week later, tada!!!! MOULD!!!!!
here are my steps, for curing wood. Am i doing someting wrong???

I find a healthy non rotten wood.
debark
clean thouroughly with a brush.
leave it overnight in a 1:10 bleach solution
clean it again.
place in the oven for 10 min at 400.

I think im taking all the right steps to curing my branch.
I have to keep the humidity at 55% so i guess thats whats creating the mould.

no more branchs in my tank, they dont need it anyway!
