Unfortunately I think it’s a combo of mild and dust. I’d repot if I was you.

darn :(

I’d also do a more chunky soil mix as well

Oof yeah looks like mold I fear. Luckily pothos are so resilient! If repotting doesn’t work, you can propagate it \& just grow a new plant baby(s). Incase you didn’t know already, make sure you’re letting the soil dry out all the way before each watering ❤️‍🩹

Is this its nursery pot? Are you self watering in the terracotta pot? It does look like mold though :/ I’m sorry!

#### nat respondió el 2025-08-25

yup it’s in its nursery pot still i take it out of the terracotta pot to water it, terracotta pot is more just decoration!

### merp comentó el 2025-08-25

I’ve had a terracotta self watering pot and it developed mold too! Maybe try a different pot, since they wick and hold moisture? Just to help prevent any future mold?

My gosh! Me too, I had a jade given to me in a terracotta pot.  
The pot was covered in mold and took over the soil. Still lost the jade

### SWDK comentó el 2025-08-25

Add a lot of PERLITE. This keeps bacteria from taking over. Also allow your plant to dry completely before the next drink it’s recommended.

### Nan comentó el 2025-08-25

This to me looks like the double pot suffocated the plant and pot. Try to avoid double potting

#### HFC respondió el 2025-08-25

Came here to say the same thing. Might be better just potted directly into terracotta pot.
