A few years ago I noticed a white "wooly" kind of fungus on the soil of
newly transplanted plants. I thought it was because of a new brand of
peat I used. I have sprayed it whith all fungicides I could lay my hands
on. Nothing helped.
About one or two months later all this white stuff was gone. None of my
plants seemed to have ever noticed its presence.
This year I have transplanted the plants of my mother-in-law. She keeps
her plants in the kitchen. This fungus is now present on her pots. The
pots in my greenhouse are not infected, though the mixture I use in the
greenhouse was used for her plants. The funus infection might be caused
by the high humidity in her kitchen.
I will just let the fungus do whatever it is doing, as it does not seem
to harm the plants.
Hope this helps
Wim
BTW : I went to a fair with my CP's (my greenhouse is too small to keep
them all). About a quarter of the visitors asked me if I couldn't give
them a real big plant for their mother-in-law. When I said that I have
given mine some plants, and that she now grows them bigger and better
than I do, they all went away whithout taking a plant ... Somehow, I
have this impression that I gave them a wrong answer. ;-)
