My monstera has some sand looking stuff in the drainage holes. Should I be concerned? Her health is perfectly fine so it hasn't effected her, at least not yet.

Thank you in advance! 🪴💖✨

What kind of water do you use to water her? It could be mineral build up

I usually use the water from either the sink or the filtered water from the fridge, more often from the sink, I should probably get back to using the water from the fridge. Thanks. 😊 🙏 ☺️

It also looks like slime mold! Completely harmless to the plant and is actually a sign of healthy soil, but could possibly be a sign of overwatering. If she looks healthy, should be nothing to worry about ☺️
