My poor pothos isn’t doing well, any tips? I change her water weekly and do fertilizer water every other week.

Maybe switch to a prop box. I’ve got some in spaghnum and some in perlite. The perlite ones are growing faster.

I’d say to stop using fertilizer in the water. Pothos roots produce a chemical that generates root growth already. It might not be responding well to the added fertilizer

Stop fertilizing her for now and try distilled water

### Frannie.C commented on 2023-06-10

Oh yeah if your not using distilled water that could be the problem.

Maybe cut of the dead leaves, and it look ready to be potted up due to a good root system forming
