    Is it white? It might be fungus or it could just be residual minerals in your water. If you can post a photo we can all get a better idea of what you are dealing with.

      It was time to water again so i had just watered it it was a little film look on the soil similar to when fruit get the fuzz on them …the plant looks like she’s thriving so I’m guessing she’s ok

    It’s likely fungus. It a sign there is good organic matter in the soil. It thrives on moisture. Makes sure there is good air circulation around the plant. A commercial fungicide can clear it if you find it unsightly. It’s not harmful.
