There are a ton of little white dots in the soil of my pothos. I’m terrified they might be eggs…

I bottom water when the soil is dry up to the first knuckle, and it is right by a big sliding door and gets tons of light.

    Pretty sure it’s a fungus, and it’s a sign that the soil is staying wet. Not a huge cause for concern and can be addressed just by cutting back on watering frequency.

    Idk for sure, but I agree with the fungus comment. I use mycorrhizal fungi for my roots, and it looks long and hairy. The great thing is that you have it in a clear pot so you can see it. I would solate it, let it dry out a bit and search google image.

    Absolutely not eggs. It is a harmless fungus, and nothing to be worried about. It will not affect your plants.

    Also, it is not always indicative of overwatering. I have this in one my snake plant pots, and it definitely doesn’t get overwatered. The fungus won’t go away even when all of the soil has been fully dry for a while and is ready to be watered again.

    It’s mycorrhizae. It’s a sign of healthy soil. A symbiotic relationship.
