Moved her to the bathroom cause at this point I don’t kno...
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
17
@PlantBeach she’s less than half of what I got her at. The leaves starting falling first, then little by little the stems were dying off. I’m not sure if it’ll let you click it but I posted an update on what she looks like today
So I feel like she's been overwatered or under... are the leaves super crispy, soil dry? Or leaves a little soggy, soil damp? But thats okay either way, like I said pothos are pretty tolerant and will bounce back! I would repot in new well draining soil, in a pot with drain holes, you can find one a bit smaller than your deco pot and place it in! I find my pothos with that setup do really well with little fuss.. when I water, I put water in the deco pot and place the plastic pot inside so the plant can drink. But, when you repot if the plant was over watered, some roots may be mushy. Just cut those off 😊
@PlantBeach the leaves feel fine. Nice and soft and the soil is a little moist but I did mist it yesterday. Not sure if she’s getting enough humidity or not
@PlantBeach at first I had it in a east facing room and I felt like it was getting burnt so I moved it to a west side but didn’t really notice change so today I moved her to the bathroom lol
@WillMoutanpeony aw lol 😆 alrighty, well let's do a full troubleshoot then. I would repot, fresh well draining soil. Make sure the pot has plenty of drainage, and let's add a basin for it to sit in, to collect excess water. Pothos do like tight quarters, perhaps a pot slightly smaller than this one would do some good. Put it in a window, any window is fine (I have loads of different types in different facing windows, I do find they love my south one though, lots of light) when you water next time, fill up the basin you have the pot in with water. If it drinks it up really fast, give it some more. I would trim off dead leaves as well, it going to look sad for a bit, but they'll come back better 💚 only water when the soil is dry, stick your finger or stick in to check the bottom soil. I think it might be a combo of things, but once its happy you'll be rewarded with long leafy vines. Sometimes plants just come to us unhappy lol its not even us 😆
She absolutely positively has root rot and will need treated. No more water and allow her to fully dry out before watering after treatment here his how to help her.
I will tell you after treatment don't expect her to bounce back immediately it takes time. But she will come back I promise they are resilient and can lose every leaf and then come back.
1. Remove from your pot, to check the roots. If there is anything brown black or mushy you have rot and will need to cut it all off. Keep only the healthy roots they will be whitish in color
Now root rot comes from a bacteria that forms in your soil and then attacks your plant. So treatment is absolutely it. necessary.
2. Cut off all affected roots soak what is left in:
1 part peroxide + 3 parts water and leave in the peroxide mix to soak for 5 minutes this will kill off the remaining bacteria. It will bubble pot and fizz this is good it’s killing the bacteria.
3. Next is soil, the best
choice is to throw it away. It’s safest. Or bake it for 1 hour in a 200
Degree oven, not the greatest because it REALLY stinks. But it’s effective. Or the most risky way is to thoroughly flush your soil out with your peroxide mix twice! You need to be very careful and do it thoroughly because if even a teeny bit of bacteria is left your rot will come back.
4. Now the pot, it also has that pesky bacteria you must scrub it out with soapy water very well and then also scrub it down with the peroxide mix.
Now you can plant her again. Be sure to add some perlite to your soil for aeration. This will help oxygen reach those roots and I avoid bacteria growth in the future.

Good morning!
My Golden Pathos is right under a grow light for 12 hours daily and loves it.
Perhaps yours also needs more light?
And, tap water is toxic to most plants.
And... @SuperbRaspfern always gives amazing advice...please follow it 💖
Best of everything ☺️🤗

@SuperbRaspfern I pulled her all apart and she didn’t have root rot but I separated her into small sections and potted seperately to see how they grow individually because now with that pot it’s too big so I’m hoping this helps lol but thank you so much for your advise !
She doesn't need to be in the bathroom. Many bathrooms are too dark. Make light the priority.
I'm glad there is no root rot. Also be should to let her dry out between watering.
Make sure the pots are not too big. I am honestly really surprised she did not have root rot or any brown roots. Did she have very many roots?
I just read that you mist her which is the biggest cause of infections in plants.
Do not mist her.
If it's not root rot than it has to be anthracose. It's a fungal disease caused by low air circulation. It can also spread to other plants through spores.
I'm glad it's not root rot but you do indeed have an issue with her.
I would if I was you treat her for anthracose. A healthy plant does not look like that.
Since it is not root rot anthracose can present and look just like it.
Honestly I would treat it with a copper fungicide. Like Captain Jacks Copper Fungicide.
This is important because it can spread by the fungal spores to other plants and will not resolve on its own.
1. Isolate plant
2. Normally I would say cut off all infected leaves but you don't have enough.
Treat it once a week for at least 3 weeks. Take photos of it from all angles. That way you will know if new spots appear.
4. Treat plant until no new spots form.
5. Be sure to flush out the soil with your treatment because the fungal spores can drop into the soil.

@SuperbRaspfern some plants seemed to have had a lot of roots where some did not which is why I split them up to see how they do on their own. I just changed the soil and added perlite and fed with some food. I’ll keep an eye out on them and see how they adjust
