| I recently moved my palms from an eastern window to a southern window. I admit that the potting soil I used when I divided them up wasn't the greatest but its sufficient. I went about watering my palms today and I've noticed this.
Is this a pest larvae of some sort or is this just part of the potting soil mix or something else growing in it? |

| Did you look at the picture? Theres yellow clumps. I was just wondering if this is anything to be concerned about. They weren't there before. I wonder if its a by product of cheap potting soil. |

| That yellow stuff is minerals in your patting soil reacting to fertilizer or your water--it poses no threat |

| Looks tan-brown to me. It will break down if sprayed with water. It's nothing to worry about. |

| What kind of potting mix did you use and what are the ingredients? It looks like it is one of those mixes with compost in it? Mike |
