Dust clouds coming off plants when being watered

Growing-or-Dying
10 years ago

Hello everyone,
I have a container garden on a screened-in porch in a humid southern state. Recently, I've noticed a weird cloud of what looks like dust coming off the top layer of soil when I water a few various plants. I have been dealing with a variety of pests this year due to the extreme humidity (and probably also the fact that I have a much larger garden than I have in the past) including aphids, spider-mites, and honestly, who knows what else. But this strikes me as some kind of fungal issue. I have not been able to find any information through my internet searching, and I don't want to treat the plants for the wrong thing. I greatly appreciate any help that can be provided. Thanks!
