Re: Weird "eggs" on fuchsia roots
Fungus not eggs. Not infectious but if you look closely you can see some blackening on the roots. This mold is usually the result of using an immature potting mix.

Hi Treeman, Never heard of this before, could you please expand on the explanation of immature potting mix?
Cheers

Re: Weird "eggs" on fuchsia roots
OK thanks the plant looks quite healthy atm should I try and do something about this fungus or just let it be?
