# Hi I’ve been collecting a plethora of Pothos over the last couple of…

_Posted by CC on 2023-06-16_

Hi

I’ve been collecting a plethora of Pothos over the last couple of years but I have one I’m really struggling with - it’s a satin Pothos - bought from a supermarket not a plant specialist and it just won’t grow.

It has slowly lost all of its vines but 1 - which has 3 leaves - it’s not dead but its also not doing much of anything. Any new growth it had last year had black spots. I have reported, it’s not root bound, it gets regular watering and fertilising and as I say it’s not dead because it hasn’t gone black like the other vines did.  
I’m completely stumped - I’ve managed to propagate from it when one of the vines was dying by putting a healthy portion in water and that one is growing fine but I don’t have it anymore. The original one is another story completely.

Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated!

Awe that’s one of my favorites. I’m no wiz but I would repot in a much smaller pot so it can get a good root system and try not to over love it. Good luck ☺️

Definitely repot into a smaller pot. Also, Satin Pothos are very slow growers, so be patient.
