Hi all, I’ve started noticing these clusters of white dots in my philodendron’s soil? Does anybody know what this is \& if it’s necessary to repot it??

I'm not sure, It almost looks like fungus, again, not 100% sure but I'd repot it just to be safe.

That's probably flowerpot parasol. It's a harmless mushroom

Fungus. The clear pot allows light into the pot and promotes the growth. Drop it into an outer pot to block the light. Try a commercial fungicide. But, fungal spores are not harmful to the plants. It’s a positive sign. 🪴🍀
