PLANT SOS. So literally 5 minutes ago i went to water my babies and immediately freaked out when i saw these egg looking things, according to google its a harmless fungus but as its on 2 of my plants already im terrified of pests destroying my collection (im scared of bugs) anyone thats had a similar issue please let me know are these eggs? Or fungus. Iv already isolated the 2 plants just incase and sobbed over them 😭

It's just fungus! It's happened on my snake plants a few times. Just let them dry out more in between waterings and the fungus should eventually dissipate

Thank you! I was seriously freaking out😅

I did too I feel you girlie! It's basically just a sign that you're overwatering and your plant needs to be more dry longer. They look terrifying though I do not blame you for freaking out

Fungus for sure. Likely flowerpot parasol
