Help, I messed up!!! I was watering my golden pothos with fertilizer just now, and the cup I was using to mix the water + fertilizer had remnants of laundry detergent in it. I only realized this after I watered the pothos and smelled the laundry detergent, then the realization hit me. I’ve since then rinsed the soil four times by putting the pothos under the tap water, and barely see any bubbles in the soil, but I don’t know what I should do. The plant is in wonderful condition and doesn’t need to be repotted, I would hate to have to bother it with soil changes while it’s so healthy and happy, but if that’s what you guys think I should do, let me know!

    I have a bit of a plant horror story I’d like to share. I mixed up some liquid fertilizer and warm water in an old water jug and let it sit on the counter. My son was washing dishes and emptied some used cooking oil from a pan into the same jug thinking that it was used oil. So not knowing, I pulled one of my mounted stags off the wall and poured the fertilizer into the little hole I poke into the top of the moss. I noticed it was thick and shiny and quickly figured out exactly what happened. I grabbed on of those soup takeout containers and added a couple drops of dawn and Arber bio protectant to some water and flushed it out as best I could. Luckily it was watering day. That was a year ago and my stag is perfectly healthy. If your pothos is healthy to begin with, I think it will be ok. I would flush the soil out a few times and make sure it’s getting lots of light. Mistakes happen 💚

      This makes me feel a lot better! I hope the sun comes out every day in these next few days then, so it can get all the sun as needed!

      I hear you. We had a good few days in the 70s, now we’re back to 40s. I had to bring all my cactus back inside. Booo
