# I have this philodendron that I repotted yesterday in completely…

_Posted by Stephanie on 2024-02-11_

I have this philodendron that I repotted yesterday in completely fresh soil, I checked the roots and everything seemed fine. Today there is already a white spiderweb/candyfloss kind of mould or something around the base of the plant. What is this?? And should I be worried about it??  
It doesn’t seem like the normal kind of mould that grows on other soil when it’s damp?
