Green moss at the root base/soil was created by TheTraveller0203

Posted 4 years 5 hours ago #58443
Hello,
In the past few days a green moss appeared in the soil and at the root base. Can you help me? How should I proceed? Or what have I done wrong?

Please post the pictures on this forum.

With tweezers you can remove moss.

It is not moss, it is algea, a sign that you are overwatering.

Thanks for you answer! Should I cut the algae out? And how can I make my tree recover from the overwatering?

Maybe you can post some pictures on here that do not require external links and you might get some more opinions.
Not everyone has been growing trees for a long time.

Of course! I'm new to this forum sry about the links. What do you think? the leaves are a bit wilted. And for a recovery what do I need to do? One last question: should I cut the algae off? While being careful of course
