Help ! My Pothos was doing so good until recently all this staring appearing on it. Even on the new leaves that are coming in ! Should I be concerned? Is this fungal maybe?

You might want to check for mealybugs. I recently lost three of my beautiful, growing pothos plants. I started to notice that the leaves were dropping, appearing sunburned, and then I discovered white residue building up in hidden areas.

Yeah a close up of this pic you uploaded looks suspicious of mealies 😬

Could be mealybugs, or could be shine from the camera flash. Could also be related to mechanical damage to the new leaf as it’s unfurling, or a decrease in light and/or humidity with the shorter and colder days.
