Hi guys! Does anyone know what this is?? I recently moved apartments and left my plants with my boyfriend for about three weeks, and he placed my pothos outside on his porch. After bringing it home today, I saw this white cluster on the underside of a leaf. I’m not sure what this is and am scared of bugs… I left it outside on my porch for now. If anyone has any thoughts I’d be super grateful!!
Hi! I’m not an expert but it looks like an egg cluster. Not sure from what. I tried to Google but nothing quite like this came up. Since it was outside, it’s probably not a common pest or may not be a pest at all; just something that lays eggs under leaves. Just in case though, I would dampen a cotton pad with peroxide and wipe it off the leaf. Even if it’s not a pest that will harm the plant, whatever hatches might still take residence in the pot and you probably don’t want that in your home!

Just looks like some kinda bug laid eggs vs mites! I’d just wipe them off and check under other leaves

I couldn’t touch it. I would snip that leaf into the trash and disinfect my hands and scissors afterwards. 😬

I recommend cutting that leave off, leaving the discarded leaf outside and bringing the plant in
