In container plants, this is simply due to moisture retaining additive found in potting soil or bagged compost, which absorbs excess water and gradually releases the jelly-like substance as the soil dries. Nothing to worry about. It could also be due to some type of pest or fungus if found in regular garden soil. In this case, treating the soil with neem oil is helpful.
