Those are slow release fertilizer beads, I had some in one of my plant online orders, I just take them out because I use my own organic fertilizer and don’t want to over feed my plants

It looks like they just dumped it on top. It should be evenly distributed in the soil. It only lasts about 9 months.

yeah they’re slow release fertilizer. weird placement since usually they’re mixed in with the soil. i would probably just get rid of them, they honestly don’t do much in my opinion
