Hi everyone,
I have a Serissa Foetida that I have had for about 2 or 3 months now. It was in horrible potting soil that held too much water, so I repotted it into some soil I made from fullers earth, perlite, and organics. The tree didn't have any of the white powder on it before I repotted it. I have two trees in this soil mix for a little over a month now, this one and a Schefflera. The white powder is there in the soil of both trees when the soil dries. When the soil I wet, the white powder goes away, except on the trunk of the Serissa. I thought it was salt in the tap water, but I switched to bottled water and it is still there after about a week from switching. I don't know if it is mold, or what I need to do about it. Maybe yall can help me out on this problem. I have ordered the good soil, (Bonsai Jack) and I will probably change out the soil when it gets here just in case the soil is the problem. Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Legobonsaipianoman
