What soil are you using?

### 🪴lex🏵️ commented on 2024-06-15

indoor soil mixed w some peat moss 😬

Oooooo, ummmm. Okay, I’d definitely change that up. Peat moss and indoor run of the mill soil is a magnet for rot and water retention and fungus and mold. So, definitely get some well draining pothos specific soil and perlite and orchid bark.

I second the orchid bark and perlite mixed with a chunky soil. My marble queen loves her mix. (3-1-1 ratio s-ob-p)

the yellow fungus isn’t harmful

I have the worst luck with these! I’ve killed one \& I’m trying to bring my 2nd back in water. Good luck!
