I was checking my rattlesnake and found this. Do you guys have any idea what this might be? I thought about spider mites perhaps? But I didn’t find any pestes in my plant.

Was it in the soil around the roots? Could it possibly have been one of those little “cloths“ that they put around the babies before they pot them up? I have no idea what they’re called but I just pulled some off of a new plant this morning.

Makes sense. I didn’t know that they did that. I bought this plant yesterday. And yes, it’s was around the root in the soil. I cleaned it up bc I didn’t know what it was.

I can’t make it out too well in the picture, but if it seemed like cloth, that’s what it probably was.
