gray mold on Epipremnum Pinnatum
Quick answer
If your Epipremnum Pinnatum has gray mold, the most likely cause is: Gray mold colonizes Epipremnum pinnatum when this Tongavine is kept too damp in cool, poorly ventilated indoor conditions, allowing the fungus to infect the soft, glossy grass-green leaf surfaces — especially where senescence or pest damage has produced tender, weakened tissue that the fungus easily penetrates.
Start here:
- 1. Cut off all parts of the Epipremnum pinnatum affected by fluffy gray mold using sterilized shears and scrape away any infected potting mixture around the base of the Tongavine.
- 2. Move the Epipremnum pinnatum to a drier location with optimal growing conditions and isolate the plant from neighboring houseplants while the Botrytis infection clears, discarding the specimen entirely if the infection is badly established.
