pothos stem yellowing

Question

hey guys! a stem on my giant marbled pothos is starting to yellow. it’s pretty long one and hads a lot of leaves that haven’t been affected yet- should I cut the unaffected part off and propagate it? what about the yellowed bit, should I cut it to the root? would love some advice. #PothosPack #Pothos

I would cut and propagate it to help save the branch, and you get a new plant out of it!

I would cut it off and toss it. Often the older, not so vigorous parts don’t prop well. They can take a long time to root or the new plants don’t thrive as nicely as expected. You’ve got a lot more healthy parts to prop if you really want to prop.

I had to cut mine back, the ivy was almost 6 ft long! So now it propagating

@StromantheSlave you might as well cut it at the root since it’s yellow and probably won’t grow anything.

@MariansOasis · Answer

@Succulent_Soul @StromantheSlave I agree and would cut the yellow vine back to where it’s green again or all the way back if no green. If you cut back all the way, you may want to pull out what’s left and examine the roots. Catch any root rot before it happens or gets out of hand.

@StromantheSlave I personally would cut it off and propagate what I can and what I propagate if there's any room in the pot use that to make the plant fuller
