Just noticed this all over the bottom of my polka dot plant that has started to get floppy and gross. I’m going to throw out all the soil, clean the pot with diluted alcohol and repot. If anyone has advice or suggestions I’m all ears

oh no!!! definitely checkout the roots when you’re repotting to see if they’ve been affected at all

The plant could be sitting in drainage water too long. That looks like fungus which thrives in continuously moist soil.
