I am assuming this is mold…. The plant seems to be fine for the most part due to blooming for the third or fourth time this season…. I know I need to repot asap but would you guys suggest a bigger pot? a smaller pot? Is it too tall of a pot? Any suggestions will be most welcome. Thanks!
I’d say that is slime mold and will not harm the plant. I have also read slime molds are not known to be a danger to animals (pets or humans), unless someone maybe has an allergy to it. Consider it more of a nuisance than a disease if you don’t like to see it. It can be beneficial in breaking down organic matter, therefore providing nutrients to the plants. I do not repot a plant if it has slime mold in the soil, but if it moves onto the leaves or stems I would remove it from those areas.
