Why Gainesville homes get dirty so fast
North Central Florida stays humid nearly year-round, and that moisture feeds gloeocapsa magma, mildew, and green algae on any surface that stays shaded. Homes under live oaks in Duckpond, Haile Plantation, and Northwest Gainesville collect pollen in spring and leaf tannin in fall, which is why the north and east walls almost always look worse than the sunny sides of the same house.
