# hi everyone! i just recently got this pearls and jade pothos, and it…

_Posted by emma ⭐️ on 2023-06-20_

hi everyone! i just recently got this pearls and jade pothos, and it was so pretty and green, but when i put it up in my home, it started to get these weird little brown spots? i water it regularly, its pot has drainage, and it gets bright indirect light most of the day. the roots are fine and it’s been reported into a pot that’s about 2” bigger than the original. it sits up high on a shelf about 14 feet from my window. ( my guess might be too much light? ) any ideas on what could be wrong? thank you!! :)

(last picture is when i bought it)

That’s correct. It does look like a Jade and Pearl Pothos… those marks could be number of things… Oedema is corky growths on the underside of the leaves. It’s caused by water logging and high humidity, as well as low light. (You can try watering your plant less, reducing the humidity, and/or move the plant to a brighter spot)  
It could also be mold. It’s black fungus that was left by insects such as mealybugs, aphids, and more. And blocks light and the plants pores. (You can sponge it off with a clean damp cloth)

That’s all I got. Hope that helps!
