Ficus Oozing White/Red Powder at Drainage Holes: Fungus from Overwatering

Indoor ficus in pot oozes white/reddish powdery substance from drainage holes. Plant looks okay otherwise.

Diagnosis: Mushroom/Puffball Fungus

Indicates overly wet soil. Won't immediately harm plant but spreads and leads to root issues.

Treatment

Soil drench with neem oil (organic fungicide).
Dry out soil completely.
Remove visible fungus at holes.
Repot if severe or years since repotting—fresh soil.
Future: No standing water in saucer. Water thoroughly, then wait until soil dries.
