Pothos is dying help! #Pothos

Question

Unsure what it needs, help!

@sarah10orio · Answer

It looks like it's been underwatered or overwatered.  I'd pull it from the hanging pot and check it.  If it is bone dry, give it a good soak, letting the water stay in the pot for a bit.

If it bounces back, that's good.

If it's super wet, I'd pull it from the plastic pot, put it on a rag or paper towels and let it dry.

If it doesn't bounce back, I'd consider taking out the soil and giving it new soil.  Perhaps the soil has been adversely effected.

Worst case is that the roots have been damaged and then it's time to chop and prop and give that plant a new set of roots to thrive.

Good luck!

Mine got a little droopy and had a yellow leaf or two when I was under-watering it (I followed a suggested watering schedule but my apartment is just drier than most I guess)!

Mine also yellows when it’s under watered.  I noticed Greg told me to wait longer to water than my pothos liked and it wasn’t doing well so I started ignoring Greg and watering it once a week and that’s helped so much

Does the pot have drainage? It looks like root rot. The decorative pot is very attractive but you have to make sure it’s not sitting in water for long amounts of time. I’d remove it from the decorative pot each time you water and make sure it’s getting ample light.

My pothos yellows when she’s thirsty. Also the curling of these leaves suggest to me that yours is dry as that’s something my pothos does when dry as well. Pluck the yellowed leaves and check the soil. If it’s dry I’d give it a good soak.

Agree with others - looks under watered.
