# Plant Doctor thinks these are burns. The spots are dry and cracky. No…

Plant Doctor thinks these are burns. The spots are dry and cracky. No webs. No bugs.

I had this pothos in a south facing window, so burns are quite possible, but I'm wondering if there are any contagious possibilities that I'm missing.

Honestly looks like it may be fungal… Though I would prefer for your sake its just too much light

Looks like some sort of fungus. Cut all the pieces off that have the spots and spray with some peroxide would be my strategy 🤷🏽‍♂️

Look up Copper Fungicide. I’m using it on my Yucca for fungus and it’s helping. It’s a process though.
