I would let them grow. They will decide if they are not healthy and turn yellow and dry up. As long as you don’t see any sign of pests, I think you are good to go.
If the leaves are yellow, I usually leave them because the plant is taking the nutrients. I take the leaf off when a gentle pull releases it. I usually try to trim or remove brown leaves because I don’t like the way they look. That’s a personal preference. I don’t think the plant is being harmed if it’s only a few leaves.
@CaringCorkelm I agree with @teacher12. I also trim back or remove brown and damaged leaves because I don’t like the way they look. I did notice your card indicates your plant is in a pot with no drainage so you may want to consider repotting in a pot with drainage. These plants don’t like to sit in soggy soil and no drainage in your pot can lead to root rot which in turn can kill the plant.
Thank you all!!
I always snip leaves with issues totally off. If u go ahead and get rid of the issue the plant can use its energy on growing and not healing β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή I wish u the very best of luck, I love Pothos!
Thank you!! These are my first house plants ever, I really like them too!
