Good morning plant friends! 💚 Could someone please tell me what is going on with my string of raindrops? If u look at the pic even closer, u can see that each little white dot is attached to the base of the plant. I don’t see any pests moving at all. Help!!

    Looks a bit like mould but not entirely sure, is the soil damp?

      Slightly. She hasn’t been watered in about 2 weeks.

    this is a generally harmless fungus. you can scoop it away and sprinkle some cinnamon you might want to address the larger issue though, which could be that this soil is hanging onto water long enough to promote fungal growth, which is longer than your succulent would prefer 😎💚

      oh i just read your comment that it hasn’t been watered in two weeks, so it’s definitely holding onto water too long. i’d repot into something with better drainage
