# Hi noobie here. I’m just getting into garden and taking care of…

_Posted by Percy on 2024-06-22_

Hi noobie here. I’m just getting into garden and taking care of plants. I have some basil and three pothos (golden, marble queen, and pearls\&jade). They are all in my east facing window since it’s the only light source I have but I’ve started to notice these weird spots on my golden pothos. Are they a concern? What can I do to treat/ prevent them?

East is find lighting for these. Does that pot have drainage holes, though?

Both pots have a single drainage hole. Planning on changing to a plastic pot inside the ceramic pots for better drainage. Been bottom watering both the basil and the golden pothos

Check the undersides of the leaves for pests, but this could also be an indicator of an issue with the roots
