I need help, algae or mold on the soil?? was created by Rastamanro

Hey guys,

I got this little guy for my girlfriend's birthday, it shipped yesterday and I noticed that the soil is over-watered. On top of that, it has some green stuff on the soil, at the base of the bonsai, and some white stuff on top. Can I please get some advice? Is the problem just overwatering, and if so what can I do?

Hey, Rasta

I think you don’t need to worry for this. For the shipping, the distributors like to generously watering the plants to prohibit drying out on the case, if it’s stay a little bit longer on the logistics maze. On a humid, dark place, without air circulation can “things” grow. Specially if your plant made a long road from Asia and stayed in quarantine on Europe, not long time ago.
If you put for few days to a well aerated place, and you wait with the watering, till the top third of the soil dries out, it should be fine.

Nice to gift living plants, instead of buckets. :) Tell to her to read up a little bit on this site, and if she’ll be interested on real 名媛直播, following other media also. It’s a really interesting “hobby”.

Thank you so much for the reply!

I thought about it too, I mean about the enclosed space during the shipping being the cause of over watering. But I was just worried about the stuff growing. But if it's not gonna damage it then it's alright. Some leaves had some black spots on them but I cut them off in case the thing was going to spread to the other leaves. She will read a lot about how to take care of it for sure. And TBH I was never a flower guy, cause they just die way too fast. Yes, they may be sweet for the moment, but afterwards it's just meh
Anyways, thanks again for the fast reply :)
