Good morning,

I noticed a few days ago that my plant, which had not had any problems until now, had white things on its leaves (see the photos).

Do you know what it is, and how to remove it?

THANKS !

    You need to give that plant a good bath. I personally would brush it with soapy water, rinse off, then dunk it in a bucket of neem oil + water mixture. Also clean the leca clay

    Mealy bug alert. Bath time – Dawn dish soap & water.

    Okay, first things first.Do you have other plants?? If you do, make sure this one is moved far, far away from them!! And I personally would wash it with rubber gloves on and then throw them out, making sure you transmit nothing to another plant

    Personally, since this is just a pothos, my inclination would be to throw it out, since they’re super easy to find & replace. I might possibly consider taking a couple clippings, sticking them in a water bottle, and keeping my eyes on that, to make sure nothing stayed behind. But honestly, if I had other plants, this one would be out the door, unless it had sentimental value. Good luck!!
