New to plants and moved some to my office. I just noticed these things that look like bug eggs. What are they? Should I remove them?.

    The balls are slow release fertilizer, extremely common in potting soil. The white irregular bits are perlite. Everything looks good.

      I have always thought that perlite was white and kinda styrofoamesque, but I felt better knowing they aren’t bugs. My office is in a very very old trailer that already had biscuit beetles eating the walls. I didn’t want to add to our ongoing issues.
