Help! Not sure what this is or what to do. It looks like eggs? It’s all over the top of the soil but so much in the stake hole.

    To me, this looks like regular mold on the soil, which is harmless. It means that you have organic rich soil. But that is my opinion, might be something different

      It has tiny white balls, is that okay? Do I need to change the soil? I looked all over the leaves and they’re fine

      If it is what I think it is, you don’t need to do anything. I have a plant that has it, and I just move the top layer of soil around so it’s not as visible. You only need to do something if mushrooms appear.

      I also read that mushrooms were a sign of healthy soil 🤔

    That’s just some harmless slime mold. The soil just stayed a little too wet. Bark in the growing medium encourages this mold to grow. It actually also means you have healthy soil!!
