Why does my pottos have black spots on most leaves, even new growth. It’s located in sunny bathroom with filtered light ?

Are the roots okay?

#### Peaches respondió el 2023-06-17

Ty I haven’t checked that

#### steph respondió el 2023-06-17

You’re welcome! I could be wrong, it just resembles root rot a little since the stems look fine.

### Tom comentó el 2023-06-17

Make sure it’s not getting too much direct light, because this looks like the leaves are starting to burn

#### Peaches respondió el 2023-06-17

No I don’t think light is the problem

If it's The the bathroom, could there be a change soap or shampoo is splattering on the leaves? It might be a chemical burn from a bath product. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s in a spare bathroom that nobody uses.

### Danika comentó el 2023-06-18

If it is a rot issue, thats usually caused by lack of light fyi. Give it more light (after removing any rot in roots and soil of course).

### Hannah comentó el 2023-06-20

Definitely looks like a fungal infection

#### Peaches respondió el 2023-06-20

Thanks Hanna I think that’s the problem also. I’m going to treat it with neem oil.
