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

    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.

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

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

      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

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