How to fertilize Skeleton Key Pothos
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Skeleton Key Pothos after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

If I notice my plant start drooping what should I do #MarbleQueenPothos

Why is my Marble Queen dying? This pothos has done well in this pot for over a year, it gets regular watering and I always make sure it needs water before I give it water. But it recently started losing leaves and whole stems, the stem starts to turn black and the leaves turn yellow but the soil is DRY. In an effort to save it, I recently replaced all of the soil in the pot with an Aroid mix and gave it the option to climb if it wants to. When I dumped all the old soil out it was dry and the roots looked pretty good as far as I could tell. Now it's just started losing another whole stem. It's half the size it used to be! I'm stumped.

Pothos help please I bought this pothos on clearance. I know it might not make it, but I hope it does. I just repotted it because so much of it already died and it was in too big of a pot. Both plants had a good root or two. Any help is appreciated. #PothosPack #PothosWater #Pothos #PothosNJoy #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #ClearanceSectionRescueBabies #HappyPlants #PlantAddict

Stopped at Lowe’s for outdoor plants and rescued two indoor plants! PJ and Phil. I absolutely love PJ. The leaves are so pretty. Phil is a philodendron brasil. He also has beautiful leaves. I hope I can keep them both alive. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #RescuePlants #PothosPack #PothosNJoy #Philodendron #PhilodendronBrasil

Some of my leaves are starting to brown, is it getting too much sun or not enough. The brown leaves seems random to me #GoldenPothos
