You guys!!! The other #Pothos leaf is dying too!!😭

What went wrong?? Was it just too far gone to begin with?? It’s starting to yellow again…

There were only two leaves to begin with. And I originally saved it literally from the trash. People claimed I might loose just the one leaf (the one that certainly looks dead, the one on the right). But. Now. The other! Why?? Will it survive anyway if I just try to keep it? What am I doing wrong?
(This is my very first pothos. Ever. I’ve never touched these guys before. Until now…) #PothosPack #GoldenPothos #help #Dyingplant

I have a little pothos like this right now. I have several small ones in one little pot. I noticed that one of the leaves were dying and when I checked it, it came right out of the soil. It didn’t have enough soil covering it! I applied soil on it and it grew a new leaf but the one dying finally fell off. I usually wait to water these til the soil is dry and I don’t tend to mist it unless they have aerial roots and I’m trying to get them to attach to the moss pole.
Yikes. Looks like it may be a problem caused by being in the trash.

Trash often draws insects towards it, so there may be something going on in the soil...
@Riverleafwing it was in the trash, but in a little pot with only a tiny amount of dirt covering the roots and stem. No bugs or pests that I saw, and I treated the dirt with diatomaceous earth.
Do you think it’s too far gone?
I also am like really nervous about not enough water for roots to grow, so I water like everyday, but only a very tiny amount anyway. I literally use a mister bottle, just for peace of mind (that’s the idea anyway), that way I can water often, but only using a tiny amount.
I just try to keep the soil gently moist for root growth.
It might need more soil covering the roots because it might think it's uprooted?
This happened to me I ended up just removing from the soil and using a clear little vase
Here’s another baby
This thread is very helpful for me! I'm new to this, my photos are growing out of the soil. I think it's because of that. 🀣
