I have a dracaena in a self-watering planter and recently noticed these white-yellowish eggs(?) all over the roots in the water reservoir. Does anyone know what these are and what I should do about them? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Looks very similar to new frog eggs. Give them a few days and see if you don't have little dark spots appear in them. If so then you will have a bunch of tadpoles soon and a batch of frogs a little later. Keep plenty of water in the container.

If it’s not accessible to frogs, then they are a decomposing fungus feeding on the potting soil and not a problem. Do nothing about or to them.

No frogs in my apartment, so I don’t think that’s it. ;) Thanks for responding, though.

Keep an eye on it. If anything changes post another picture. I would like to know what it is too.
