Oh no!! I can’t believe it broke!

My 1 year old broke it 😩

I think it could possibly be salt residue from using tap water. It happens to most of my terra cotta pots too. If your plants are growing and doing well I don’t think it is anything serious.

Oh good I was worried it was something bad

Yep, it’s just mineral buildup. Should be fine.

Minerals from the water! Mine are all sorts of white from using well water 😊
