Hey! This is the soil with my snake plant, anyone know what this growth is? For info, I feed it around twice a month with a liquid fertilizer dropper. Thanks!

It’s either fertilizer salts (crystalized) or fungal growth (soft). You run water through the soil to flush the salts. You can scrape the soil to remove the obvious fungus or use a commercial fungicide. 🪴🍀

Very helpful! Thanks! I also have a healthy looking pup growing from the main plant, right now it’s about an inch tall and growing well. When would you say it would be a good time to propagate it and put it in its own pot?
