Butch, I see what you're saying. You might try googling for clay pots + mold and
see what hits. If it is mold, I would remove the plants from the pots and soak them
in a bleach and water mix. Then re-pot the plant/s and see what happens.
I wonder if when pre-soaking new or used pots, it would help to add bleach to the
water. Since clay pots are porous (why they breathe), I bet the mold will just come back.
That's one reason I stick to plastic. I've tried the clay a couple of times but always go back to the plastic pots.
I've sent this pic of Phanton before. He has filled the pot with roots. I'm going to
prune hard when the days start getting longer in late Dec. Come spring after he has
started putting out new growth, I will pot him up one size. He's already in a 10 gal.
