SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the identification and management of yellow fungus or mold found on the soil of a potted orange tree. The growth is identified as yellow moss, which does not adversely affect the plant's health. To address the issue, it is recommended to remove the plant from the pot, discard the top two inches of soil, and treat the root ball with a mixture of 1/4 cup of cider vinegar and 1/2 gallon of room temperature water. Finally, re-pot the plant using high-quality potting soil to prevent recurrence.
