it’s normal for them to “climb” on higher and drier spots when they create the fruiting bodies (like on the plastic label).Īll in all, slime molds are pretty cool if you do some research, for example, they can actually move and oscillate and organize themselves. they won’t damage your plants (although I would have the impulse to push them away from my seedlings). Fertilizer does not travel to the surface, grow larger and produce tiny gnats around the. Water beads contain superabsorbent polymers that can expand to hundreds of times their original size, after exposure to water. These polymer balls expand until they be. We are talking about two totally different balls. They're polymer balls that expand when placed in water. As for the water changes, I would just do 50 weekly water changes, or two 25 water changes every 3-4 days. You could also give one to a friend who has a tank or a pond. they are part of the natural decaying and composting cycle (hello grass clippings) These giant polymer water balls look like super jumbo orbit. The eggs that do not get eaten may die as hatchlings, and maybe just one or two will grow up to be big goldfish, so you may be able to keep them in your tank. In your last photo, you can also see the plasmodium, similar to a white “web” or “net” covering the lump of soil(?) next to the green plant’s center.Ī precise id would probably require a specialist, but for you as a gardener, the most important parts are If you gently cut one open, you won’t find an insect embryo, just spores. 
This one looks a bit like yours, for example. But did you know.theyre also a fun and easy way to grow many house.
They come in lots of different shapes and colors, some with a striking resemblance to insect eggs. Youve probably seen these crystal water beads in flower vases at wedding receptions. The “eggs” are the spore-carrying fruiting bodies. Without water, plants can die, however like most plant hobbyists. I think you can relax - this is not a sign of a massive insect infestation and not a fungus, but one of nature’s wonders known as slime mold. Those white fuzzy balls that look like insect eggs, tiny cotton balls or white fuzz.
