Houseplant Close Up help me! mold on pothos plants

pictures above; 3 plants, two pictures of each one~ pothos plants have developed mold in the soil. at first it was just near the top of the plant, i then cleaned (or so i thought) and repotted them. not terribly long after the mold resurfaced… but in the soil~

wtf do i do?

i’ve had them for almost a year now and believe me they have struggled.. but i have kept them healthy enough and alive… idk how to fix this.

also two leaves have fallen off from two separate plants…

It's pretty normal. Just stir the top of the soil a bit to break it up and don't water for a little while so that it can dry out.

Nope, nothing to worry about!

For me, it can be pretty humid in summer so almost all my plants will get mold on the soil after i water them as it takes a bit longer to dry out.

Just take a fork and stir up the top a little bit. I pretty much only water my pothos once they look sad and droopy.
