Hi Solaara,

It sounds like Liverwort, which grows in damp places. You can just scrape
it off the surface of the compost. However, if it's on all your pots,
consider which of those pots need to be that moist. Maybe some of your pots
are being overwatered?

If this growth has been on your pots since winter, and probably developed
during wet weather, then it might be a good idea to top dress the pots after
you've scraped off the growth.

Hope this helps.
Spider

I think I may have overwatered..will do as you suggest with the top dressing..cheers !....solaara
