Well, this is new to me. Any thoughts? I wasn’t too concerned until this morning when it looks like maybe it’s also started on my Tortum that was next to it. Fungus?

Planta AI does say fungus………but sometimes it’s off.

It looks like white mold (fungus). It grows well in organic material that stays moist long enough to grow fungus. It also grows better in a place with higher humidity or poor air circulation. You can carefully wipe it off the plant and let the soil dry out more. Ensure there is good air circulation to deter growth. A commercial fungicide can be applied if it’s excessive. It’s typically not harmful to plants. 🪴🍀

There is definitely a humidifier run on the plants where this one is at. But above a portable AC unit (which soon enough will be tucked away). Thanks!
