I have a Golden Pothos growing in a clear nursery pot. It looks like green moss growing at the bottom. The plant seems fine right now. No roots are molding. How should I handle this issue?

It should be fine but if you want it not to spread don’t let the clear pot part see sun.

That's probably algae, and yep, darkness will get rid of it

That’s harmless moss. It shows signs of a moist environment. But it’s not going to hurt the plant

You can drop the pot into an outer opaque pot to block the light. 🪴🍀
