Fuzzy growth on the surface of a houseplant pot can make a calm plant owner suddenly feel as if the whole room has become suspicious. A pale patch appears near the stem, a green film creeps along one damp corner, or a chalky ring forms where water dries at the edge of the pot. The plant may look fine, which makes the decision harder. Soil-surface changes can point to ordinary decay in organic potting mix, slow drying, mineral buildup, stale air, or a pot that is staying wet longer than the roots can use. The useful move is to read the setup before you scrape, repot, spray, or throw the plant away.
