Hi, I started noticing some white fuzz on my golden Pothos that I’ve been water propagating. What could this be and what should I do. Would it be better to propagate it in perlite?

They look like really healthy roots to me! That how I always do mine, in just water 😁

Oh okay. I was just worried they went healthy because of the white fuzz that’s appeared in the past few days which don’t look like roots

Do you change the water often?

#### Tiffany replied on 2023-10-23

I’m not always as on top of it as I would like to but if the water is turning green I make sure to dump it, wipe everything out and put fresh water

#### Sunny replied on 2023-10-23

You’ve waited way too long if the water has turned green. Change the water one a week or sooner if it’s cloudy. Be sure to thoroughly clean the container at the same time.

About once a week
