I’m 60% sure that these little white dots are fungi but I’m not entirely sure. Does anybody know what these little guys are in my pothos plant?

    yeah this is a fungus — probably harmless but this soil does look verrrry wet (maybe you *just* watered?) be sure to let it dry out well before watering again to control fungal growth

      I did just water, most sources say that pothos soil should be damp and not dry out completely, but maybe I should let it dry out a bit more.

      i let mine dry out until the top three inches of soil have dried — i have two old & successful goldens 😊 i definitely wouldn’t recommend allowing these to stay in perpetual dampness like you would with an alocasia for example

    Pothos absolutely thrive in soil dried out between watering. The damp is not good for them. I actually let them dry out more like 50-75% of the way- sometimes dry to the bottom of the pot then water. I have had mine for 7 years and they are ridiculous and huge. Light too!! They really take off with a good bright light source.

    This has happened to me before too. I placed the pot outside to get a bit of sun for a few hours.
