I recently bought an indoor palm plant and when I removed the plant from the plastic container, I noticed hundreds of small gray pellets bunched together in the soil. They are round/oval and about the size of peppercorns. I cut one open and it oozed a yellowish substance.
Does anyone know what these are? At first I thought they might be insect eggs, but they seem too big. Then I thought perhaps it is some kind of fertilizer.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
