I am getting a flat sort of moss on the surface of all my pot plants
this year..is it anything to worry about?


It's most likely to be Liverwort, you're probably overwatering a bit
and the compost is getting sour and stale. Probably worth repotting
some of the plants, knock them out of the pots, pick off the
liverworts and the compost that's stuck to them, tease the rootball of
your plant out a bit and get rid of any soggy compost that has no
plant roots in it and repot in fresh compost. In bad cases you might
consider putting the plant in a slightly smaller pot if the retball
has deteriorated badly, otherwise move them up to a slightly larger
size.
