# Hey guys i’m currently propagating my golden Pothos, they’ve been…

_Posted by C on 2023-07-20_

Hey guys i’m currently propagating my golden Pothos, they’ve been doing good but i’ve notice these roots are starting to look fuzzy and brown, they don’t feel squishy though so i’m not sure if it’s root rot. Any idea what this could be E.g. Algae. Thank you!

That’s how water roots are ☺️

Do you rinse the roots every now and then with your weekly water change? That might help.

No but i’m going to be doing that from now on ! :)

I give mine a little gentle massage when I’m rinsing them when I change the water 😃

It's mold that grows in the water and on the roots. I would recommend changing the water when u notice it getting bad but it's pretty inevitable with propogations!
