i was thinking eggs too that why i was worried & grossed out haha. well, either way if it were me i would probably take the plant out, treat its roots with a fungicide & insecticide (arber has both you can mix together), then repot with new soil. iād use a different pot š„ or clean it very very well.

exitJiraffeItās a kind of mold. I just spray hydrogen peroxide on it and try to wash away any excess with water. Itās happened to a couple plants of mine that my mom overwatered when I was on vacation š. The plants are stilly alive and thriving. Donāt worry too much. :)

Itās a sign of over watering if I didnāt make that clear. Lol i also thought it was eggs and freaked out. But yeah, itās just a super spherical mold/fungus.

WOW!!! NK?!!!! Just from over watering?!! Okayā¦ good to know. Now itās kind of funny that it only happened to the plants that I put rocks in the bottom of the pot. Would you suggest not doing that again? Do you think some reason the rocks were holding too much moisture? One of my plants is a peace, Lily and you know how much they love Waterā¦ What are your thoughts?

Plant Fatheradding rocks to the bottom of your pot impedes drainage and will keep the soil wet longer, but the mold can be from lack of airflow as well as overwatering. if they canāt be placed on an open shelf (like wire mesh or slatted wood), i like to prop my terracotta pots up on some cork feet (wine corks cut in half) to make sure thereās airflow around the bottom of the pot

BrittanyBThis is just slime mold. Itās not harmful at all to the plant and doesnāt need to be treated. It breaks down organic matter and provides nutrients to your plants. You donāt need to remove it but can if it bothers you.

Oooh okā¦ slime mold! Iāve never experienced this before. I have experienced ādog vomitā THAT mold freaked me out!! However it did not harm my trees or plants ā¦. Just looked horrible. Thank you for the advice and your experience. Iām definitely going to repot and give her some new soil. Iāll feel better after I check her roots as well š¤

Tee JayItās slime mold. Not harmful to your plant at all. You can scrape it off if it bothers you. Itās kinda cool if you look it up. Just maybe increase airflow or decrease watering to your plant
