: I have a dragon tree that seems to be developing a problem. There is a white fuzz over the top of the soil in the pot it is in. Also there are white blotches appearing on the trunk near the soil. Is this over watering or is there something else going on here. There does not seem to be a problem with the leaves and it seams to look quite healthy apart rom this blotching. Please if anyone can help me it would be appreciated

It may very well be overwatering, and what you see is some sort of mold. Try to let the soil dry out a bit,
water less often (how often do you water?) and more at a time.

Good luck and aloha,
