I noticed it when I was watering the front landscape. Can anyone tell me what the white stuff on the soil is? What can I do to get rid of it?

I had this when I didn’t let the soil dry between waterings. Personally, I repotted one and was too lazy for the others. I mixed up the soil and made sure it dried out. Try not to leave the soil too moist 🍀

This looks like mulch fungus. It’s part of the mulch decomposition process. You can turn it over into the soil give it a good water and top with new mulch.
