# i just got this golden pothos from a local plant shop about a week…

_Posted by bloomingbella on 2024-08-15_

i just got this golden pothos from a local plant shop about a week ago and have noticed these spots. i’m very new to owning plants and was wondering if anybody could guide me in the direction of what this is? it was in a pretty bright spot on my balcony so i moved it to a more shaded spot in case its sunburn.

It does look like sunburn, good call moving it!

Looks like sunburn to me too. I life mine out after a pest treatment and it got similar marks.
