  It's lichen. It isn't harming the plant so you can leave it unless the appearance offends you. I quite like it😊

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  It is just harmless lichen, no need to do anything. It shows that you live in an area with decent air quality.

  If you're at a loose end during the lock down, there was a fascinating Gardeners' World on the subject of lichens https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04xwq41
