ID help please!?
What is this? Growing on the surface of the soil (a professional grade potting mix) in two large concrete flower pots, in the southeastern United States. The pots are watered daily, and are in bright, filtered sun all day. A cool spring has given way to daily high temps of 99-101 degrees F.
I've never encountered this before! This stuff is growing in two of a set of 6 large pots that I've been planting for the last 4 or 5 years. It's covering the surface of the soil. The two affected pots get more sun than the other 4, if that helps... All of the plants in the affected pots look punier than the others - they're smaller and more yellow. Some of the plants are impatiens, so I could assume that they're just getting too much sun, but the showpiece plant in each pot is a large elephant ear (Xanthosoma), which normally THRIVE in these pots. The other four pots look fantastic, but these two just look pitiful. :(
