Help needed!! White spots on soil was created by Harmoon

Posted 5 years 9 months ago #47778
Hi I purchased one of those starter sets last month. I have planted the seeds and they have begun to grow. I noticed yesterday that in one of the pots there is white spots on the soil. I am panicking because I don't even know if I can repot them yet as they are so small. I know the pots they provide in these sets are rubbish but don't know what to do. Any help is much appreciated. Please see picture which shows the issue.

If the whiteness does not look fuzzy and you are watering with tap water it is probably mineral deposits from the water, especially if you have 'hard water' (your water has a higher mineral content). If this is what it going on it is not problematic. If it bugs you you can water with distilled or collected rain water.

Hm.. From your pictures I cannot tell what it would be. As such, I then look at the plants.They look happy and healthy. SO continue what you are doing. It looks like you got things worked out fine.

If you have enough plants you realize that stuff happens in pots, and you stop worrying as long as the plants are OK :)
