# So I was sold a neon pothos today and I’m now seeing all these brown…

So I was sold a neon pothos today and I’m now seeing all these brown stems on an otherwise perky plant. I’m planning on repotting tomorrow to alleviate any possible fungal issues. What else should I do? Is this plant saveable? Sorry I’m a beginner.

Totally normal. Totally fine. Those brown bumbs are the "nodes" of the plant. They are a natural part of the plant. It shows were a leaf or root can grow. It's the stems little road map! If you get fungus, soil smells awful. If you get fungus gnats, you will see little bugs fly out of the plant if you shake it. You can get rid of those with sticky traps or sprinkle the soil with mosquito granules. Congrats on your new baby! ❤️
