# Help please! I got these lemon meringue Pothos in the mail yesterday,…

_Posted by Tduff on 2024-03-27_

Help please! I got these lemon meringue Pothos in the mail yesterday, and was repotting them tonight, because that’s just how I am, and found all these spots on the leaves. Is this rust fungus? The leaves were already wet when I realized there were spots all over them, so I’m not sure if there was any powder on them or not. If so, what would be the best course of action to prevent it from spreading to all of my other plants. I have cut almost all of the leaves off of the pothos that have the spots on them.

It’s not rust fungus. Looks like mechanical damage from handling and possibly dried spots left after the leaves pushed out excess salts. That’s just my guess.

Thank you!
