Pothos Misidentified as Philodendron: Green Growth on Stems

Your Plant Is Pothos, Not Philodendron

Light green substance on stems = likely moss/algae from excess moisture + low light. Pothos needs brighter light for variegation.

Fixes

1. Spray with Lysol if mold (kills fungal growth).
2. Move to brighter light—moss disappears.
3. Ensure pot has drain hole; don't let sit in water.
4. Water only when very dry.

More sun = variegated leaves, less stem growth.
