Solved What are these orange eggs at plant's roots?

hallo,

transplanting into a bigger pot, i noticed these orange eggs in a cluster at the roots -- any idea what they are: friend or foe?

cheers, karaman

 

Looks like controlled release fertiliser to me.
Nothing suspicious.

 

hallo pete, thank you, phew... thats a great relief as i've seen it in other pots, thought it had spread everyhere! cheers, karaman

 

Agree with Pete but...is it a new plant or one of yours that you're potting up, if it's one of yours then can you remember using the slow release? Just a thought .

 

Slug and snail eggs are clear in my experience, but other than that very similar, so easily confused until you see both.

 

thank you pete and upsydaisy -- fertiliser is the answer and a great relief! -- karaman
