White fuzzy mold all over my pothos' soil. What's going on and how do I fix it? Already lost 2 leaves and I'm assuming this mold is the cause.

White mold just means you need better airflow. Can scrape it off - it's not inherently harmful to the plant, and pothos do occasionally drop leaves. It's a common mold found indoors.

Now pink or yellow mold indicates a fungus that needs treatment but white mold is normal. Cut back a bit on water and maybe turn a fan on.

I had mold recently - recommend repotting the plant in fresh soil!
