#GoldenPothos
14ft to light, indirect
5” pot without drainage
Last watered 4 weeks ago
@EquablePlanera Hi Brook, yeah they look pretty bad. If they were frozen there's a good chance that they won't survive especially if their roots were affected so you're going to have to check. Start by removing the brown, wilting leaves and stems. Get them out of the way because they are definitely not coming back. Pay attention to what you're cutting. If there are any healthy green leaves left make sure you don't cut them in the process. If there are no healthy green leaves left then it's probably a goner. CloroPhil looks pretty good! I see some green on Denali, but Duke is looking pretty bad. It also says that they are in pots without drainage holes? They need to have good drainage. Water them when the top inch to an inch and a half of top soil are dry. You can check with your finger or a chopstick. If you feel any moisture on your finger wait a couple of days then check again. As well as any discoloration on the chopstick wait until it's dry to water them. Also, they need to be near a window with bright indirect light. No direct sunlight. Their leaves will burn. If you give them too much water their leaves will turn yellow and fall off. There is a plus side, Pothos are reasonably inexpensive plants. Maybe you could replace one or two and gift them to her once she gets out of rehab. It can be a fresh start for both of them! 💚ðŸĨ°ðŸ™Œ
I agree with Heidi - wait it out before turning to replace them. Pothos are very hardy, the root may take a bit but my guess is it will come back
