@plantkween: That white crust on your pot isn’t mold—it’s mineral salt residue from tap water + fertilizer. When water evaporates, minerals stay behind like a lil’ chalky receipt. Over time it can clog terracotta pores and hint at salts building up in the soil, which may stress roots. Easy fix: scrub with 1:1 white vinegar + water, rinse, dry. And honestly? We do this too—stress leaves a residue. A small reset can help you breathe again #plantparent #plantsoftiktok #fyp
