this is a harmless fungus — unclear on the cause but it won’t hurt your plant

#### plantmother svarte den 2024-09-09

ty!

Are you sure? They look like little white eggs to me

#### eatyacarbs svarte den 2024-09-10

100% sure — but yes they are like little beads

Ohhhh gotcha !! Good to know!!

It could be the moist soil combined with the sun coming through the clear pot. I’d put the clear pot in a decorative pot so it doesn’t get direct sunlight to the soil.

#### plantmother svarte den 2024-09-10

it is in a decorative pot no worries!!

#### sammr svarte den 2024-09-10

then it’s just the moisture from the soil! i got the same thing in my monstera but it’s harmless!

#### plantmother svarte den 2024-09-10

thanks! had a lot of pest scares recently so I was v worried

I have these too and hasn’t caused any harm. Does anyone know how to get rid of it though?

#### plantmother svarte den 2024-09-10

I poked it with my bamboo stick and it disappeared lol, I imagine it’s related to overwatering as the internet said they can turn into mushrooms

#### Bay Area Plant Mom svarte den 2024-09-10

remove the top layer of soil and sprinkle with cinnamon to prevent it from coming back

#### Abi’s Plants svarte den 2024-09-10

Thank you!!

### Bay Area Plant Mom kommenterte den 2024-09-10

it’s saprophytic fungi! you might end up with mushrooms next 🥰
