White Speckles / Spots on the Trunk was created by morpheus83uk

Posted 13 years 2 weeks ago #3129
Hello,

I have mentioned this before however it kind of went away so I didnt really persue it any more.... I have some white spots / speckles starting to appear on the trunk of my bonsai. Now I have repotted into the same container, given it a good clean, made sure there was no bad soil (from previous mistakes made) and washed it and trimmed the roots down as per the instructions here.

Now I know there is none of the old soil on the roots on the trunk anywhere and its had a good water and been fed too with some 5:5:5 food as per its instructions. Now its been growing fine and everything and its been watered as per its needs and some little white speckles / spots have started appearing again and I am wondering what they could be as I would like to get it sorted ASAP before it gets out of hand. I have had a look around the internet and people are saying that it could be fungus however I would like to check and make sure and get some proper advice before doing anything and risking my little tree's health!

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will grab some pictures soon for you to have a look at...

Many Thanks

James

Do the pictures I have posted give the reflection of what I am seeing? and also is it natural? if it is then thats fine and if not then I would like to make my tree happy ASAP if thats possible :)

If anyone has any suggestions on what it could be before I do anything that would be greatly appreciated! :)

Many Thanks

James.
It looks like there are mineral deposits near the soil surface. It's from the water you are using. You could use rain water :)
Don't worry too much. It's fine.

James,
They will go away in a few weeks or so using rain water.

Hello and welcome
…..it would have been better to start your own topic in stead of digging up a 9 year old one…
This being said, more info is needed: how long do you have the plant, where is it located, watering schedule,….?

It’s been 6 months I have the plant. I water it when the soil is near to dry. But it’s been 3-4 days the soil is very damp, and there is a a lot of moisture in it. What should I do? There is also regular soil
Mixed in it.
