# I just got this golden pothos about almost a week ago and I’m just…

_Posted by Brinlee 🎀 on 2025-03-01_

I just got this golden pothos about almost a week ago and I’m just wondering if these little brown things all of the plant is bad or are they roots? I’m just wondering if there’s anything I need to do to ensure it doesn’t die.

Those are aerial roots. Usually it means there was a watering/humidity issue. But are normal. If you don't like the look, you can carefully clip them off
